# Extra questions for Similar triangles|Class 10 Maths

Question 1.
P and Q are the mid-point of the sides CA and CB respectively of a $\Delta ABC$, right angled at C. Prove that:
(i) $4AQ^2 = 4AC^2 + BC^2$
(ii)$4BP^2 = 4BC^2 + AC^2$
(iii) $4(AQ^2 + BP^2) = 5AB^2$.

Question 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:
a. $OA^2 + OB^2 + OC^2 - OD^2 - OE^2 - OF^2= AF^2 + BD^2 + CE^2$.
b. $AF^2 + BD^2 + CE^2 = AE^2 + CD^2 + BF^2$
