To show that three ratios are equal.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
WYZB is Trapezoid with bases
Formula used:
The below property is used:
If three or more parallel lines intersect two transversals, they divide them.
Proof:
It is given that, WYZB is Trapezoid with bases
Bases of Trapezoidal are parallel.
According to Transitive property of parallel lines, we get
If three or more parallel lines intersect two transversals, they divide them.
From Equation 1 and Equation 2, we get
