Given: A trapezium ABCD, In which AB\xa0{tex}\\parallel{/tex} CD and its diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.To Prove: {tex}\\frac{{AO}}{{OC}} = \\frac{{BO}}{{OD}}{/tex}Construction: Through O draw OE||ABproof: In {tex}\\triangle {/tex}ADC, OE {tex}\\parallel{/tex} DC,Hence {tex}\\frac{{AE}}{{ED}} = \\frac{{AO}}{{OC}}{/tex} …..(i)…..[By BPT]Again in {tex}\\triangle {/tex}ABD, we have OE\xa0{tex}\\parallel{/tex} AB,hence {tex}\\frac{{DE}}{{EA}} = \\frac{{DO}}{{OB}}{/tex} ……..[By BPT]{tex}\\Rightarrow {/tex}{tex}\\frac{{EA}}{{ED}} = \\frac{{OB}}{{OD}}{/tex} …..(ii)……[Using invertendo]{tex}\\therefore {/tex} From (i) and (ii), we.{tex}\\frac{{OB}}{{OD}} = \\frac{{AO}}{{OC}}{/tex}H once proved
