Q8:
$E$ is a point on the side $AD$ produced of a parallelogram $ABCD$ and $BE$ intersects $CD$ at $F$. Show that $\triangle ABE \sim \triangle CFB$.
Solution :
Given: A parallelogram $ABCD$ where $E$ is a point on the side $AD$ produced. The line segment $BE$ intersects the side $CD$ at point $F$.
To Prove: $\triangle ABE \sim \triangle CFB$.
Step 1: Identifying the properties of the parallelogram $ABCD$.
In a parallelogram $ABCD$, opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal. Therefore:
$AD \parallel BC$ [Definition of a parallelogram]
Since $E$ lies on the extension of $AD$, it follows that $AE \parallel BC$.
Also, $\angle A = \angle C$ [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal].
Step 2: Analyzing $\triangle ABE$ and $\triangle CFB$.
We compare the two triangles based on the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion.
Consider $\angle A$ in $\triangle ABE$ and $\angle BCF$ in $\triangle CFB$.
Since $ABCD$ is a parallelogram, $\angle A = \angle BCD$ [Opposite angles of a parallelogram].
Note that $\angle BCF$ is the same as $\angle BCD$. Thus, $\angle A = \angle BCF$.
Step 3: Establishing the second pair of equal angles.
Consider the parallel lines $AE$ and $BC$ intersected by the transversal $BE$.
$\angle AEB = \angle CBF$ [Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal].
Note that $\angle AEB$ is the same as $\angle AEB$ in $\triangle ABE$, and $\angle CBF$ is the same as $\angle CBF$ in $\triangle CFB$.
Step 4: Applying the AA Similarity Criterion.
In $\triangle ABE$ and $\triangle CFB$:
1. $\angle A = \angle BCF$ [Proved in Step 2]
2. $\angle AEB = \angle CBF$ [Proved in Step 3]
Therefore, by the AA similarity criterion, $\triangle ABE \sim \triangle CFB$.
Final Answer: Since two angles of $\triangle ABE$ are equal to two angles of $\triangle CFB$, the triangles are similar by the AA similarity criterion: $\triangle ABE \sim \triangle CFB$.
