State the necessary conditions,as per definition,for two triangles to be similar.

In $\Delta ABC$,$A-N-B$,$A-M-C$ and $B-X-C$. $\overline{XM} \parallel \overline{AB}$ and $\overline{XN} \parallel \overline{AC}$. $\overline{MN}$ intersects $\overline{CB}$ at $T$. Prove that $TX^2 = TB \times TC$.

In $\Delta ABC$,$\overline{AD}$ is a median. If $AB = 10$,$AC = 24$,and $AD = 13$,find $BC$.

In a rhombus,the diagonals measure $10$ and $24$. Then,the length of each side of the rhombus is...........

Diagonals of a trapezium $PQRS$ intersect each other at the point $O$. Given $PQ \parallel RS$ and $PQ = 3 RS$. Find the ratio of the areas of triangles $POQ$ and $ROS$.

In quadrilateral $ABCD$,a line through $A$ intersects $BD$ at $L$,$CD$ at $M$,and the extension of $BC$ at $N$. Prove that $\frac{LD^2}{LB^2} = \frac{LM}{LN}$.
