B
Let the triangles be ABC and DEF
Then AB=3 units and DE=4 units.
Each angle of both ABC and DEF is 60.
ABEACF
(AAA similarity)
So,
ar(ABC)ar(DEF)=BC2EF2=3242=916

Let AB be a units long.
We know that diagonal of a square = √2× side length
⇒AC=√2×AB
Now, â–³ABEand â–³ ACF are equilateral triangles.
Each angle of both △ABEand △ ACF is 60∘.
∴△ABE∼△ACF (by AAA similarity criterion)
So, ar(ACF)ar(ABE)=AC2AB2=2a2a2=21
Question 13. In the adjoining figure, if BC=a,AC=b,AB=c and ∠CAB=120∘,

  1.    Â  a2 = b2 +  c2 + 2bc
  2.    Â  a2 = b2 +  c2 - 2bc
  3.    Â  a2 = b2 +  c2 + bc
  4.    Â  a2 = b2 +  c2 - bc

C
In â–³CDB,
BC2=CD2+BD2[Pythagoras theorem]
BC2=CD2+(DA+AB)2
BC2=CD2+DA2+AB2+(2×DA×AB)...(i)
In â–³ADC,
CD2+DA2=AC2...(ii)[Pythagoras Theorem]
Here, ∠CAB=120∘ (given)
⇒∠CAD=60∘ (since∠CAD and∠CAB form a linear pair of angles)
Also, cos60∘=ADAC
AC=2AD...(iii)
Substituting the values from (ii)&(iii)in(i) we get,
BC2=AC2+AB2+(AC×AB)
a2=b2+c2+bc
Alternatively,
Since ∠A is an obtuse angle in △ABCso,
BC2=AB2+AC2+2AB.AD=AB2+AC2+2×AB×12×AC[∵AD=ACcos60∘=12AC]=AB2+AC2+AB×AC
⇒a2=b2+c2+bc
Question 14. ABC is a triangle and DE is drawn parallel to BC cutting the other sides at D and E. If AB=3.6 cm,AC=2.4 cm and AD=2.1 cm, then AE =  ______.

If LM ∥ AB, AL=x-3, AC=2x, BM=x-2, BC=2x+3. What Is Value...
In â–³ABC,
It's given LM ∥AB,
So, ALCA=BMCB [By BPT]
(x−3)2x=(x−2)(2x+3)
(x−3)×(2x+3) = (x−2)×2x
2x2 - 3x - 9 =2x2 -4x
x=9
SoAC=2x=18

Answer: Option B. -> BC2
:
B
Consider â–³ADB andâ–³ABC
∠BAD =∠BAC [common angle]
∠BDA=∠ABC [ 90∘]
Therefore by AA similarity criterion,â–³ADB andâ–³ABC are similar.
So,ABAC=ADAB⇒AB2= AC.AD ---(I)
Similarly,â–³BDC andâ–³ABC are similar.
So,BCAC =DCBC⇒BC2= AC.DC ---(II)
Dividing (I) and (II) and cancelling out AC, we get,(ABBC)2 = ADDC----(III)
Also, Inâ–³ADB,AB2 =AD2 + DB2 and inâ–³BDC,CB2 = CD2 +DB2[Pythagoras theorem]
Subtracting these two equations above and cancelling offDB2 on both sides, we get
AB2 -BC2 = AD2 - CD2 ⇒AB2 +CD2 =AD2 +BC2 --------------(IV)
Dividing this equation with BC2 on both sides,AB2BC2 +CD2BC2 =AD2BC2 +BC2BC2 ⇒AB2BC2 +CD2BC2 =AD2BC2 + 1
⟹ AB2BC2 - 1 =AD2BC2-CD2BC2
⟹ ADDC - 1 =AD2−CD2BC2 [Using (III)]
⟹AD−DCDC =(AD−CD)(AD+CD)BC2
⟹1DC =ACBC2
⟹BC2 = AC.DC

Consider â–³ABC andâ–³BDC,
∠ABC=∠BDC=90∘
∠C=∠C [Common angle]
Therefore by AA similarity criterion,â–³ABC andâ–³BDC are similar.
ACBC =BCDC
BC2 = AC×DC

Since ΔADB and ΔDBC are right triangles, using Pythagoras theorem, we can write:
AB2=AD2+BD2...(1)
BC2=CD2+BD2...(2)
Subracting(2)from (1), we get,
AB2=AD2+BD2BC2=CD2+BD2(−)(−)(−)–––––––––––––––––––––AB2−BC2=AD2−CD2
Rearranging, we get,
⇒AB2+CD2=AD2+BC2

AB Is The Diameter Of The Circle With Centre O. P Is A Point...
Let O be the centre of the circle. The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.(here that point is P).
∠AOB=180∘
⇒∠APB=∠AOB2=90∘
∴△APB is a triangle, right angled at P.
⇒ By pythagoras theorem,
AB2=AP2+PB2=(2PB)2+PB2=5PB2
⇒AB=√5PB
⇒PB=AB√5=d√5

Let AB and CD be two trees such that AB=20m,CD=28m&BD=17m
If The Distance Between The Top of Two Trees Of Height 20 M...Draw BE parallel to AC. Then,
ED=8m.
By applying Pythagoras' theorem,
BE2+DE2=BD2.
