The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning outlined in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle and Given Information:** - We have triangle \( ABC \) with \( AD \) as the median. This means \( BD = CD \). - The angle bisectors of \( \angle ADB \) and \( \angle ADC \) meet \( AB \) and \( AC \) at points \( E \) and \( F \) respectively. - We are given that \( AE:BE = 3:4 \). 2. **Using the Angle Bisector Theorem:** - According to the Angle Bisector Theorem, the angle bisector divides the opposite side in the ratio of the other two sides. - For triangle \( ABD \), since \( DE \) is the angle bisector of \( \angle ADB \), we have: \[ \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{AE}{BE} \] - Given \( AE:BE = 3:4 \), we can express this as: \[ \frac{AE}{BE} = \frac{3}{4} \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{3}{4} \quad \text{(1)} \] 3. **Applying the Angle Bisector Theorem Again:** - For triangle \( ACD \), since \( DF \) is the angle bisector of \( \angle ADC \), we have: \[ \frac{AD}{CD} = \frac{AF}{FC} \] - Since \( BD = CD \) (because \( AD \) is a median), we can replace \( CD \) with \( BD \): \[ \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{AF}{FC} \quad \text{(2)} \] 4. **Equating the Ratios:** - From equations (1) and (2), we can equate the right-hand sides: \[ \frac{AE}{BE} = \frac{AF}{FC} \] - This means: \[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{AF}{FC} \] 5. **Using the Basic Proportionality Theorem:** - Since \( \frac{AE}{BE} = \frac{AF}{FC} \), by the converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem, we conclude that \( EF \) is parallel to \( BC \). - This implies that triangles \( AEF \) and \( ABC \) are similar. 6. **Finding the Ratios of Corresponding Sides:** - From the similarity of triangles \( AEF \) and \( ABC \), we have: \[ \frac{AE}{AB} = \frac{EF}{BC} \] - We know \( AE = 3 \) and \( BE = 4 \), thus: \[ AB = AE + BE = 3 + 4 = 7 \] - Therefore: \[ \frac{AE}{AB} = \frac{3}{7} \] - Substituting this into the similarity ratio gives: \[ \frac{3}{7} = \frac{EF}{BC} \] 7. **Final Ratio:** - Thus, we find: \[ EF:BC = 3:7 \] ### Conclusion: The ratio \( EF:BC \) is \( 3:7 \).
