Two equal pillars AB and CD are standing on the either side of the road as shown in the figure.
If AF = CE, then prove that BE = FD.

Dear student


In ∆ABF  and ∆CDE
∠B = ∠D = 90o  {from figure}
Side AB = Side CD  {from figure}
Side AF = Side CE  {from figure}
Therefore, by RHS rule, ∆ABF and ∆CDE are concurrent.
By CPCD,
Side BF = Side DE
Subtracting common length EF from both the sides, we get
BF – EF = DE – EF
BE = FD
Hence Proved.
