- Similar triangles
In the triangle DEF is DE = 21cm, EF = 14.7cm, DF = 28cm. The triangle D'E'F' is similar to the triangle DEF. Calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle D'E'F' if the similarity coefficient is one-seventh. - Similarity coefficient
In the triangle TMA, the length of the sides is t = 5cm, m = 3.5cm, and a = 6.2cm. Another similar triangle has side lengths of 6.65 cm, 11.78 cm, and 9.5 cm. Determine the similarity coefficient of these triangles and assign similar sides to each other. - Meneal's 26771 Show (using Meneal's theorem) that the center of gravity divides the line in a 1:2 ratio.
- An observer
An observer standing west of the tower sees its top at an altitude angle of 45 degrees. After moving 50 meters to the south, he sees its top at an altitude angle of 30 degrees. How tall is the tower?

How long a shadow casts a building 15 m high if the shadow of a meter rod is 90 cm? Sketch - similarity. - Cutting cone
A cone with a base radius of 10 cm and a height of 12 cm is given. At what height above the base should we divide it by a section parallel to the base so that the volumes of the two resulting bodies are the same? Express the result in cm. - Approximately 25381
The observer sees the tops of two trees at the same angle a. It is 9 m from one tree and 21 m from the other. The trees stand on a level. How tall is the second tree if the height of the first is 6 m? Remember that the eyes of a standing person are approx - The shadow
The shadow of a 1 m high pole thrown on a horizontal plane is 0.8 m long. At the same time, the shadow of a tree thrown on a horizontal plane is 6.4 m. Determine the height of the tree. - The triangles
Two similar triangles, KLM and ABC, are given. Calculate the lengths of the remaining sides of the triangle KLM. If the lengths of the sides are a = 7 b = 5.6 c = 4.9 k = 5
- Lookout tower
Calculate the height of a lookout tower forming a shadow of 36 m if a column 2.5 m high has a shadow of 1.5 m simultaneously. - Similarity of two triangles The KLM triangle has a side length of k = 6.3cm, l = 8.1cm, m = 11.1cm. The triangle XYZ has a side length of x = 8.4cm, y = 10.8cm, z = 14.8cm. Are triangle KLM and XYZ similar? (write 0. If not, if yes, find and write the coefficient of a similarity)
- Conical bottle
When a conical bottle rests on its flat base, the water in the bottle is 8 cm from its vertex. When the same conical bottle is turned upside down, the water level is 2 cm from its base. What is the height of the bottle? - There
There is a stretched steel cable between the three columns. The height of the first column is 4 m, and the height of the second is 3.5 m. The distance between the first two columns is 2.5 m, and the distance between the second and third is 5 m. The heels - Sides of right angled triangle
One leg is 1 m shorter than the hypotenuse, and the second leg is 2 m shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the lengths of all sides of the right-angled triangle.
- Distance 11711
The observer sits in a room 2 m from a 50 cm wide window. A road runs parallel at a distance of 500 m. What is the cyclist's average speed on this road when the observer sees him at 15 seconds? - Secret treasure
Scouts have a tent in the shape of a regular quadrilateral pyramid with a side of the base of 4 m and a height of 3 m. Find the container's radius r (and height h) so that they can hide the largest possible treasure. - Quadrilateral 11241
The regular quadrilateral pyramid has a height of 40 cm and a base side of 21 cm. Cut the needle at half the height. How much will both parts have? - Two chords
Calculate the length of chord AB and perpendicular chord BC to the circle if AB is 4 cm from the circle's center and BC 8 cm from the center. - Right circular cone
The volume of a right circular cone is 5 liters. The cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base, one-third down from the vertex to the base. Calculate the volume of these two parts of the cone.
