(a) Which triangle is similar to Mathematics for Secondary Schools
 YOQ?
(b) Given that OP = 4 m,
OX = 7 m, PX = 6 m,

YQ = 4.5 m, calculate the
14. In the following figure, explain why values of OY and OQ.

 ABC and  ADE are similar?
If AB = 8 dm, AC = 9 dm, 16. A triangle ABC is defined such that
ˆ
BC = 6 dm and AD = 12 dm, CD bisects ACB.
calculate the values of AE and DE. AD BD
(a) Prove that = .
AC BC
