Question 37 (iii) (B) If AM and DN are medians of triangles ABC and DEF respectively then prove that β–³ ABM ∼ β–³ DEN.Given AM & DN are medians Since AM is median, M is mid-point of BC ∴ BM = CM = 𝟏/𝟐 BC Also, DN is median, N is mid-point of EF ∴ EN = FN = 𝟏/𝟐 EF We are assuming β–³ ABC ∼ β–³ DEF Otherwise this question cannot be solved Since β–³ ABC ∼ β–³ DEF And, Sides of similar triangles are proportional So, 𝐴𝐡/𝐷𝐸=𝐴𝐢/𝐷𝐹=𝐡𝐢/𝐸𝐹 𝐴𝐡/𝐷𝐸=𝐡𝐢/𝐸𝐹 Putting BC = 2BM, and EF = 2EN 𝐴𝐡/𝐷𝐸=2𝐡𝑀/2𝐸𝑁 𝑨𝑩/𝑫𝑬=𝑩𝑴/𝑬𝑡 Also, since β–³ ABC ∼ β–³ DEF And, corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal ∴ ∠ B = ∠ E Now, In Ξ” ABM & Ξ”DEN ∠𝐡=∠𝐸 𝐴𝐡/𝐷𝐸=𝐡𝑀/𝐸𝑁 Hence by SAS similarly Ξ”ABM ∼ Ξ”DEN Hence proved
