Answer
(i) In △ ABC and △ EFD,
⇒ AC = DE (Given)
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠EFD (Alternate angles are equal)
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠EDF (Given)
∴ ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ EFD (By A.A.S. axiom)
We know that,
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.
∴ AB = FE.
Hence, proved that AB = FE.
(ii) Since, ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ EFD,
∴ BC = FD …….(By C.P.C.T.C.)
Subtracting CD from both sides, we get :
⇒ BC - CD = FD - CD
⇒ BD = CF.
Hence, proved that BD = CF.
