△ABC and △DEF are equilateral triangles, A (△ABC): A (△DEF) = 1 : 2. If AB = 4 then what is length of DE?
a. 2 √2 b. 4 c. 8 d. 4 √2
3) If the areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4 : 9, then their corresponding sides are in the ratio.
a. 9 : 4 b. 3 : 2 c. 2 : 3 d. 16 : 81
3) In the following fig. indicate whether the triangles are similar or not.
Give reasons in support of your answer.
In ∆XDE, PQ∥DE... _____
∴ _____ = _____ ... (I) (Basic proportionality theorem)
In∆XEF, QR∥EF ... _____
∴ _____ = _____ ... (II) (Basic proportionality theorem)
∴ _____ = _____ ... from (I) and (II)
∴ seg PR∥seg DF ... (Converse of basic proportionality theorem)
2) If ∆ABC ~ ∆PQR and AB : PQ = 2 : 3, then fill in the blanks.
A(∆ABC) = _____= 22 = _____
A(∆PQR) 32
3)
In △PQR seg PM is a median. Angle bisectors of ∠PMQ and ∠PMR intersect side PQ and side PR in points X and Y respectively.
Prove that XY || QR. Complete the proof by filling in the boxes.
3) In a △ABC, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that DE ∥ BC. If AD = 2.4 cm, AE = 3.2 cm, DE = 2 cm
and BC = 5 cm, find the BD and CE.
3) Prove that :
“If a line parallel to a side of a triangle intersects the remaining sides in two distinct points, then the line divides the sides in the
same proportion.”
