According to following figure, If AB ⊥ BC, DC ⊥ BC and DE ⊥ AC then prove that ∆CED ~ ∆ABC

Answer»

Given

AB ⊥ BC, DC ⊥ BC and DE ⊥ AC

To prove : ∆CED ~ ∆ABC

Proof : AB ⊥ BC and DC ⊥ BC

∴ AB || DC

When AB || DC cuts by transversal AC

∠BAC = ∠ACD

or ∠BAC = ∠ECD

∠B = ∠E = 90° (given) …(ii)

∴ ∠ACB = ∠EDC [due to (i) and (ii)]

⇒ ∆ABC ~ ∆CED.
