ABC, is an obtuse triangle, obtuse angle at B. If ADCB, prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2 + 2BC.BD 2. ABC is an acute angled triangle, acute angle at B. If ADBC, prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2 2BC.BD 3. ABCD is a rhombus. Prove that AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2 = AC2 + BD2 4. In an equilateral triangle with side a, prove that (a) the altitude = (b) Area =

a2

5. ABC is an isosceles right triangle, right angled at C. Prove that AB2 = 2AC2 6. In a ABC, AD is drawn perpendicular to BC. Prove that AB2 BD2 = AC2 CD2 7. A man goes 150 M due east and 200m due north. How far is he from the starting point. 8. A ladder is placed in such a way its foot is at a distance of 5m from a wall and its tip reaches a window 12m above the ground. Find the length of the ladder. 9. A ladder 25m long reaches a window of a building 20m above the ground. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the building 10.Two poles of heights 6m and 11m stand vertically on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12M, find the distance between their tops. 11.In an isosceles triangles ABC, with AB = AC, AD is perpendicular from B to AC, prove that BD2 DC2 = 2CD.AD 12.P and Q are the mid points of the sides CA and CB respectively of a ABC right angled at C. Prove that a) 4AQ2 = 4AC2 + BC2 b) 4BP2 = 4BC2 + AC2 c) 4(AQ2 + BP2) = 5AB2
