SIMILARITY 1) In the adjoining figure, LM is parallel to BC, AB =6cm. AL= 2cm and AC=9cm. Find a) the length of CM. 6cm b) the value of A rea of ∆ALM/Area of trapezium LBCM. 1/8 2) In figure, ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC and AB= (1.2) DC. Prove that O is the point of trisection of diagonals AC and BD. 3) In the figure alongside PQRC is a parallelogram PQ =16cm, QR=10cm. L is a point on PR such that RL : LP = 2:3. QL produced meets RS at M and PS produced at N. a) prove that ∆RLQ ~ ∆ PLN. Hence, find PN. 15 b) Name a triangle similar to triangle RLM. Evaluate RM as a fraction. ∆PLQ, 32/3 cm 4) In the figure, DE || BC. a) Prove that ∆ ADE and ABC are similar. b) Given that ADA= (1/2) BD, calculate DE, if BC= 4.5 cm. 1.5cm 5) In a ∆ PQR , L and M are two points on the base QR such that angle LOQ= angle QRP and angle RPM= angle RQP, Prove that a) ∆ PQR ~...
