- If the orthocentre of the triangle formed by the lines $ y = x + 1 $, $ y = 4x - 8 $, and $ y = mx + c $ is at $ (3, -1) $, then $ m - c $ is:
In the adjoining figure, \( AP = 1 \, \text{cm}, \ BP = 2 \, \text{cm}, \ AQ = 1.5 \, \text{cm}, \ AC = 4.5 \, \text{cm} \) Prove that \( \triangle APQ \sim \triangle ABC \).
Hence, find the length of \( PQ \), if \( BC = 3.6 \, \text{cm} \).
- ABC is an isosceles right triangle with C as right angle. Prove that \(AB^2 = 2AC^2\).
- In \(\triangle DEF\) and \(\triangle PQR\) it is given that \(\angle D = \angle Q\) and \(\angle R = \angle E\), then which of the following is correct?
