Are the triangles in figure 1.56 similar? If yes, by which test?

In ΔABC, ray BD bisects ∠ABC and ray CE bisects ∠ACB. If seg AB ≅ seg AC then prove that ED || BC.

In figure 1.55, ∠ABC = 75°, ∠EDC = 75° state which two triangles are similar and by which test? Also write the similarity of these two triangles by a proper one to one correspondence.

As shown in figure 1.57, two poles of height 8 m and 4 m are perpendicular to the ground. If the length of shadow of smaller pole due to sunlight is 6 m then how long will be the shadow of the bigger pole at the same time?

In ΔABC, AP ⊥ BC, BQ ⊥ AC B- P-C, A-Q - C then prove that, ΔCPA ~ ΔCQB. If AP = 7, BQ = 8, BC = 12 then find AC.
