In a ΔPQR, PR2−PQ2=QR2 and M is a point on side PR such that QM⊥PR. Prove that QM2 = PM × MR .
Hypotenuse of a right triangle is 25 cm and out of the remaining two sides, one is longer than the other by 5 cm. Find the lengths of the other two sides.
Legs (sides other than the hypotenuse) of a right triangle are of lengths 16cm and 8 cm. Find the length of the side of the largest square that can be inscribed in the triangle.
Is it true to say that if in two triangles, an angle of one triangle is equal to an angle of another triangle and two sides of one triangle are proportional to the two sides of the other triangle, then the triangles are similar? Give reasons for your answer.
D is a point on side QR of ΔPQR such that PD⊥QR. Will it be correct to say that ΔPQD∼ΔRPD? Why?
The ratio of the corresponding altitudes of two similar triangles is 3/5. Is it correct to say that ratio of their areas is 6/5 ? Why?
If in two right triangles, one of the acute angles of one triangle is equal to an acute angle of the other triangle, can you say that the two triangles will be similar? Why?
Two sides and the perimeter of one triangle are respectively three times the corresponding sides and the perimeter of the other triangle. Are the two triangles similar? Why?
