Question
Point E lies on the extended side AD of parallelogram ABCD. BE intersects CD at F. Show that (i) (ii) .
Approach
Use alternate interior angles and AA similarity criterion. (i) In triangles DFE and CFB, corresponding angles are equal (alternate interior and vertically opposite), so by AA, they are similar. (ii) Similarly for triangles AEB and CBF.
