2. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF such that 2AB = DE and BC = 8 cm, then find EF.
3. ABC is a right triangle right angled at C. let BC = a, CA = b, AB = c and p be the length of perpendicular from C on AB.
Prove that CP = ab
4. The perpendicular AD on the base BC of a ΔABC intersect BC at D so that DB = 3CD. Prove that 2(AB) 2 = 2(AC)2 + BC2.
5. Triangle ABC is a right angled at B and D is the mid-point of BC.Prove that AC2 = 4AD2 – 3AB2
6. If two sides and a median bisecting one of these sides of a triangle are respectively proportional to the two sides
and the corresponding median of another triangle, then prove that the two triangles are similar.

12. There are three villages A, B and C such that the distance from A to B is 7 km from B to C is 5 km
and C to A is 8 km. the gram-pradhan wants to dig, a well in such a way that the distance of the
well from each village is equal.

(b) What should be the location of the well?
(c) Which value is depicted by gram-pradhan.
