Given

Segments AB, CD ,and EF intersect at point O.

points A, E, C and points B, F, D are collinear

AO ≅ OB

, CO ≅ OD

Prove that

AE ≅ BF

To proof

As given in the question

points A, E, C and points B, F, D are collinear

Collinear points

These are the points lie in the single striaght line.

this shows points A, E, C and points B, F, D are lie in the single striaght line.

As given in the question

AO ≅ OB , CO ≅ OD

In ΔAOC and ΔBOD

AO ≅ OB

∠AOC = ∠ BOD ( Vertically opposite angle )

CO ≅ OD

ΔAOC ≅ Δ BOD

By using the SAS congurence property

∠CAO = ∠OBD

( By corresponding sides of the congurent triangle )

In ΔAOE and Δ BOF

∠OAE = ∠OBF ( As proof above )

AO = OB

∠AOE = ∠BOF ( Vertically opposite angle )

ΔAOE =Δ BOF

By using the ASA congurence property

AE ≅ BF

( By corresponding sides of the congurent triangle )

Hence proved
