Prove that the ratio of perimeters of similar polygons is equal to the similarity coefficient.

Let CB and CD be tangents to the circle with the centre A, let E be the point of intersection of the line AC with the circle. Draw FG as the segment of a tangent drawn through the point E between the lines CB and CD. Find FG if the radius of the circle is 15 and AC=39.

Prove that the relation between areas of two similar polygons equals to the square of their similarity coefficient.

In the triangle ABC with a right angle ACB, CD is the height and CE is the bisector. Draw the bisectors DF and DG of the triangles BDC and ADC. Prove that CFEG is a square.
