Here are the calculations for the given geometry problem.

11.1.1: Calculate FDCF\frac{FD}{CF}

  1. Identify parallel lines and relevant triangles.

    We are given that AD∥EFAD \parallel EF. Since GG and FF are points on EFEF, it means AD∥GFAD \parallel GF.
    Consider △CAD\triangle CAD. The line segment GFGF is parallel to ADAD.

  2. Apply the Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales's Theorem).

    Since GF∥ADGF \parallel AD in △CAD\triangle CAD, by the Basic Proportionality Theorem, the line GFGF divides the sides ACAC and CDCD proportionally.
