Means extremes product theorem:
If a product of a pair of not zero numbers is equal to the product of another pair of not zero numbers, then either pair of numbers be made the extremes, and the other pair the means, of proportion.
Calculation:
It is given that,
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
Applying means extremes product theorem, we get
