In $\Delta ABC$,$A-P-B$,$A-Q-C$ and $\overline{PQ} \parallel \overline{BC}$. If $\frac{AP}{PB} = \frac{3}{4}$ and $AC = 17.5$,find $AQ$.

In $\Delta ABC$,$AB + BC = 23$,$BC + AC = 32$,and $AB + AC = 25$. Show that $\Delta ABC$ is a right-angled triangle.

In $\Delta PQR$,$P-X-Q$,$P-Y-R$ and $\overline{XY} \parallel \overline{QR}$. If $PX = 3$,$PQ = 8$ and $PY = 4.2$,find $YR$.

When a ladder leans on a wall to reach a height of $8 \, m$, its lower end rests $6 \, m$ away from the base of the wall. If the same ladder leans on the wall to reach a height of $6 \, m$, find the distance of its lower end from the base of the wall. (in $m$)

$\Delta ABC$ is an acute-angled triangle and $\overline{AM}$ is an altitude. Prove that $AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2} - 2 \cdot BC \cdot BM$.

In $\Delta ABC$,the correspondences $ABC \leftrightarrow BAC$ and $ABC \leftrightarrow ACB$ are similarities. Then,$\Delta ABC$ is a/an $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$ triangle.
