Question:
In Fig. 7, $A B \perp B C, F G \perp B C$ and $D E \perp A C$. Prove that $\triangle A D E \sim \triangle G C F$
Solution:
In the given figure, we have
$A B \perp B C$
$F G \perp B C$, and
$D E \perp A C$
Then we have to prove that
The following diagram is given
In, we have
$\angle A+\angle D=90^{\circ}$.......(1)
In $\triangle A B C$, we have
$\angle A+\angle C=90^{\circ} \ldots \ldots(2)$
From equation (1) and equation (2), we have
$\angle A+\angle C=\angle A+\angle D$
$\Rightarrow \quad \angle C=\angle D$
Similarly, we have
$\angle A=\angle G$
Since $\triangle A D E$ and $\triangle G C F$ are equiangular, therefore $\triangle A D E \sim \triangle G C F$
