(ii)$4BP^2 = 4BC^2 + AC^2$
(iii) $4(AQ^2 + BP^2) = 5AB^2$.

Question 3.
The areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio of the squares of the corresponding median.
Question 4.
The areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio of the squares of the corresponding angle bisector segments.
Question 5.
If, AD BE and CF are medians of the $ \Delta ABC$, then prove that
$3 (AB^2 + BC^2 + CA^2) = 4(AD^2 + BE^2 + CF^2)$

Question 6.
In an equilateral triangle ABC, D is a point on side BC such that $BD = \frac {1}{3} BC$. Prove that $9AD^2 = 7AB^2$

Question 7.
O is a point in the interior of a triangle ABC, $OD \perp BC$, $OE \perp AC$ and $OF \perp AB$. Show that:
