If triangle similar to triangle and , and the perimeter of a triangle is , then perimeter of triangle is

In . & are constructed from point , which makes congruent angle along with . It intersects extended at point & respectively.
Prove that

Shown below is a sector of a circle with centre . All lengths are measured in .
What is the length of ?

Choose and write the correct option in the following question.
In the figure given below,
To the nearest tenth, what is the length of ?

is a trapezium with , the diagonals and are intersecting at . If iş similar to then prove that .

In the adjoining figure, if , find the value of

is any point on side of a . and . produced meets produced at . Prove that .

and are similar triangles. and are the areas, and are the perimeters of and respectively.
Which of these is same as the ratio of the height of to that of ?


Shown below is a sector of a circle with centre . All lengths are measured in .
What is the length of ?

Assertion : If ratio of perimeters of two similar triangles is , then ratio of their corresponding medians is also .
Reason : Converse of B.P.T. states that if two sides of a triangle are divided by a line in equal ratio then the line is parallel to the third side.

In the figure, & divides in the ratio . Prove that .

In the adjoining figure, find , if .

In a triangle ABC, the side AB is bisected at the point D and the line segment CD is bisected at the point E. If AE produced intersects BC at the point. F, then prove that.
