Since for similar triangles,the ratio of the areas is the square of their corresponding
sides.

E = H=57o .....(Given)
In DEF,
D+ E+ F=180o ...(Angle sum property)
48o +57o+ F=180o

15. Given: In in which and AB = BC.

Also, and are equilateral triangles.
To prove :
Proof : Let AB = BC = x units
In
By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Now,
In and , each angle is as they are equilateral triangles.
Since,the ratio of the area of two similar triangles is equal to the square of ratio of
their corresponding sides.
Hence,
16. To prove: BD = BC
proof:BC2 = AC CD

Hence,
18. We have,
In BAD, by mid-point theorem

PS||AD and ....(i)
In CAD, by mid-point theorem
QR||AD and ....(ii)
Compare (i) and (ii)
PS || QE and PS = QR
Since one pair of opposite sides is equal as well as parallel then, PQRS is a
parallelogram ....(iii)
Now, In ABC, by mid-point theorem,
PQ||BC and ....(iv)
and, AD = BC ...(v) [Given]
Compare equations (i)(iv) and (v)
PS = PQ ....(vi)
From (iii) and (vi),
Since, PQRS is a parallelogram with PS = PQ then PQRS is a rhombus.
19. To prove the given result,we will use the following theorm.
The internal bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in
the ratio of the sides containing the angle
Since AD is the bisector of A of ABC.
[by above theorm]

[Adding 1 on both sides]
... (i)
In 's CDE and CBA, we have
DCE = BCA = C [Common]
BAC = DEC [Each equal to 90°]
So, by AA-criterion of similarity, we have
CDE ~ CBA
...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we obtain
20. In ADB, by pythagoras theorem,
AD2 + BD2 = AB2
52 + BD2 = 132
25 + BD2 = 169
BD2 = 169 - 25 = 144

BD = = 12 cm
In ADB and ADC
[Each 90°]
AB = AC [Each 13 cm]
AD = AD [Common]
Then, [By RHS condition]
BD = CD = 12 cm [By c.p.c.t]
Hence, BC = 12 + 12 = 24 cm.
