Answer

Parallelogram ABCD is shown in the figure below:

E is a point on the side AD produced of a parallelogram ABCD and BE intersects CD at F. Show that △ ABE ~ △ CFB. NCERT Class 10 Mathematics CBSE Solutions.

In Δ ABE and Δ CFB,

⇒ ∠BAE = ∠FCB (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

⇒ ∠AEB = ∠FBC [AE || BC and EB is a transversal, alternate interior angles]

∴ Δ ABE ~ Δ CFB (By A.A. axiom)

Hence, proved that △ ABE ~ △ CFB.
