If $ABCD$ is parallelogram, $P$ is a point on side $BC$ and $DP$ when produced meets $AB$ produced at $L$, then prove that $\frac{DP}{PL}=\frac{DC}{BL}$.
Given: $ABCD$ is parallelogram, $P$ is a point on side $BC$ and $DP$ when produced meets $AB$ produced at $L$.
To do: To prove that $\frac{DP}{PL}=\frac{DC}{BL}$.
Solution:
As given A parallelogram $ABCD$ in which $P$ is a point on side $BC$ such that $DP$ produced meets $AB$ produced at $L$.
In $\vartriangle ALD$, we have
$BP||AD$
$\therefore \frac{LB}{BA}=\frac{LP}{PD}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{BL}{AB}=\frac{PL}{DP}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{BL}{DC}=\frac{PL}{DP}$ [$AB=DC$]
On taking reciprocal of both sides
$\Rightarrow \frac{DP}{PL}=\frac{DC}{BL}$
Hence proved.
