Question
In the given figure, $\text{DB}\perp\text{BC},\text{DE}\perp\text{AB}$ and $\text{AC}\perp\text{BC}.$
Prove that $\frac{\text{BE}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{BC}}.$

Answer


In the given figure : $\text{DB}\perp\text{AB},\text{AC}\perp\text{BC}$ and DB || AC
$\therefore\angle\text{DBC}=\angle\text{ACB}$
AB is the transversal
$\therefore\angle\text{DBE}=\angle\text{BAC}$ $\big[\text{Alternate }\angle\text{s}\big]$
In $\triangle\text{DBE}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC}$
$\angle\text{DEB}=\angle\text{ACB}=90^\circ$
$\angle\text{DBE}=\angle\text{BAC}$
$\triangle\text{DBE}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$ [By AA similarity]
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{BE}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{BC}}$
Hence proved.

Naman is diing fly-fishing in a stream. The tip of his fishing rod is $1.8m$ above the surface of the water and the fly at the eand of the string rests on the water $3.6m$ away from him and $2.4m$ from the point directly under the tip of the rod Assuming that the string (from tip of his rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does he have out (see the adjoining figure)? If he pulls in the string at the rate of $5\ cm$ per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from him after $12$ seconds?
