An aeroplane leaves an airport and flies due north at a speed of 1000km per hour. At the same time, another aeroplane leaves the same airport and flies due west at a speed of 1200 km per hour. How far apart will be the two planes after` 1 1/2`  hours?


In triangle BMP and CNR it is given that PB= 5 cm, MP = 6cm BM = 9 cm and NR = 9cm. If ΔBMP∼ ΔCNR then find the perimeter of ΔCNR

A line is parallel to one side of triangle which intersects remaining two sides in two distinct points then that line divides sides in same proportion.

Given: In ΔABC line l || side BC and line l intersect side AB in P and side AC in Q.

To prove: `"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`

Construction: Draw CP and BQ

Proof: ΔAPQ and ΔPQB have equal height.

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = (["______"])/"PB"`   .....(i)[areas in proportion of base]

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQC")) = (["______"])/"QC"`  .......(ii)[areas in proportion of base]

ΔPQC and ΔPQB have [______] is common base.

Seg PQ || Seg BC, hence height of ΔAPQ and ΔPQB.

A(ΔPQC) = A(Δ______)    ......(iii)

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = ("A"(Δ "______"))/("A"(Δ "______"))`   ......[(i), (ii), and (iii)]

`"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`   .......[(i) and (ii)]


Find the value of x for which DE || AB in figure.
