TRIANGLES
1. In ∆ABC, DE||BC and if EA = 6.6cm, then find AC.
2. In the figure of ABC, DE || AB. If AD = 2x, DC = x+3 , BE = 2x−1 and CE = x, then
find the value of ‘x’
3. If ∆ABC and ∆DEF are similar triangles such that ∠A=470 and ∠E=830 ,
then find ∠C.
4. ABCD is a trapezium with AD ∥ BC and AD = 4cm. If the diagonals AC and BD
intersect each other at O such that = = , then find BC
5. In ∆ABC and ∆PQR, we have AB= 4.5 cm BC = 5 cm, CA= 6√2 cm, PQ = 10 cm,
QR=9 cm, PR =12√2 cm. If A =75° and B= 55°, then find P.
6. ∆ABC is such that AB = 3cm, BC = 2 cm, CA = 2.5 cm. If ∆ABC-∆DEF and
EF=4cm, then find the perimeter of ∆DEF.
7. In ABC, DE || AB, If CD = 3 cm, EC = 4 cm, BE = 6 cm, then find DA.
8. A girl walks 200m towards East and then 150m towards North. Find the distance
of the girl from the starting point.

9 . In the ∆ABC, DE || BC. If AE = 2 cm, AD = 3 cm and BD = 4.5 cm, then find CE.
10. In the given figure, find the value of x in terms of a, b and c.

14. ΔABC~ΔPQR. If AM and PN are altitudes of ΔABC and ΔPQR respectively and
AB2 : PQ2 = 4: 9, then find the ratio AM: PN.
15. In the below figure, two chords AB and CD intersect each other at the point P.
Prove that (i) ΔAPC ~ ΔDPB (ii) AP. PB = CP. DP
16. If in the given figure, BC || DE and DC || EF, then prove
that DA2 = AF x BA
17. A girl of height 90 cm is walking away from the base of a lamp-post at a speed
of 1.2 m/s. If the lamp is 3.6 m above the ground, find the length of her shadow
after 4 seconds.
18. A vertical pole of length 6 m casts a shadow 4 m long on the ground and at the
same time a tower casts a shadow 28 m long. Find the height of the tower.
19. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || CD and its diagonals intersect each other at
the point O. Using a similarity criterion of two triangles, show that = .

20. Prove that = if LM || CB and LN || CD as shown in the figure
21. If a line intersects sides AB and AC of a ∆ ABC at D and E respectively and is
parallel to BC, prove that =
22. Prove that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the
other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same
ratio. Using the above theorem prove that a line through the point of intersection of
the diagonals and parallel to the base of the trapezium divides the non-parallel sides
in the same ratio.
