In the given figure, if ∠ADE = ∠B, show that ΔADE ~ ΔABC. If AD = 3.8cm, AE = 3.6cm, BE = 2.1cm and BC = 4.2cm, find DE.

The perimeter of two similar triangles ABC and PQR are 32cm and 24cm respectively. If PQ = 12cm, find AB.

In the given figure, ∠ABC = 90° and BD⊥AC. If BD = 8cm, AD = 4cm, find CD.

The scale of a map is 1 : 200000. A plot of land of area 20km² is to be represented on the map. Find:

The number of kilometres on the ground represented by lcm or the map

Construct a ΔABC in which CA = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and ∠BAC = 45°. Then construct a triangle whose sides are `3/5` of the corresponding sides of ΔABC.

In ΔABC, DE is parallel to BC and DE = 3:8.

Find:
(i) AD : BD
(ii) AE, if AC = 16.
