In \(\Delta ABC\), \(D\) and \(E\) are points on the sides \(AB\) and \(AC\) respectively. Each of the following cases show that \(DE || BC\).
 
(i) \(AB = 12 \ cm\), \(AD = 8 \ cm\), \(AE = 12 \ cm\) and \(AC = 18 \ cm\).
 
ABAD=ii
 
ACAE=ii
 
ABAD  ACAE
 
By  theorem, \(DE || BC\).
 
[Note: Enter the simplest ratio.]
 
 
(ii) \(AB = 5.6 \ cm\), \(AD = 1.4 \ cm\), \(AC = 7.2 \ cm\) and \(AE = 1.8 \ cm\).
 
ABAD=ii
 
ACAE=ii
 
ABAD  ACAE
 
By  theorem, \(DE || BC\).
