Given that the diagonal BD the diagonal AC in AO: OC in 3: 1 To prove : AB = 3CD Proof: in Δ AOC and Δ DOC Δ AOB = Δ COD Δ OBA = Δ ODC (Because DC is parallel to AB, and DB is transversal so these are alternates) Therefore, Δ AOB is similar to COD (By AA similarity) Now, AO/OC = AB/DC (Because...

Similar triangles sides are proportional. 3/1=AB/DC (Given that AO:OC=3:1). So, AB =3DC. Hence proved.
