To prove that \(\frac{AE}{ED} = \frac{BF}{FC}\) in trapezium \(ABCD\) where \(AB \parallel DC\) and \(EF \parallel AB\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the triangles We have trapezium \(ABCD\) with \(AB \parallel DC\). Points \(E\) and \(F\) are located on sides \(AD\) and \(BC\) respectively, such that \(EF \parallel AB\). ### Step 2: Apply the Basic Proportionality Theorem Since \(EF\) is parallel to \(AB\), by the Basic Proportionality Theorem (also known as Thales' theorem), we can conclude that: \[ ...
