5) In a ∆ , if the square of one side is equal to sum of the
squares of the other two sides, prove that the angle
opposite to the first side is a right angle.
6) In an equilateral ∆ ABC, D is a point on the side BC, such
that BD = 1/3BC. Prove that 9 AD² = 7 AB²
7) P and Q are the mid points of side CA and CB
respectively of ∆ ABC right angled at C. Prove that
4(AQ²+ BP²) = 5 AB² .
8) ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC & its diagonals
intersect each other at the point O. Show that
OA.DO=BO.CO
9) CM and RN are respectively the medians of ∆ABC and
∆PQR. If ∆ABC~∆PQR, prove that(i) ∆AMC~∆PNR
(ii) CM/RN=AB/P (iii) ∆CMB~∆RNQ
10) 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.
