There is a pair of parallel lines. The point \(A\) and \(B\) lie on one of the lines. The point \(C\) and \(D\) lies on the other line. We can form triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle ABD\). Prove that the areas of triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle ABD\) are equal.

Find the mistake in the sequence of equalities: \(-1=(-1)^{\frac{2}{2}}=((-1)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1^{\frac{1}{2}}=1\).

A circle with center \(A\) is inscribed into a square \(CDFE\). A line \(GH\) intersects the sides \(CD\) and \(CE\) of the square and is tangent to the circle at the point \(I\). Find the perimeter of the triangle \(CHG\) (the sum of lengths of all the sides) if the side of the square is \(10\)cm.

The triangle visible in the picture is equilateral. The hexagon inside is a regular hexagon. If the area of the whole big triangle is \(18\), find the area of the small blue triangle.

In a pentagon \(ABCDE\), diagonal \(AD\) is parallel to the side \(BC\) and the diagonal \(CE\) is parallel to the side \(AB\). Show that the areas of the triangles \(\triangle ABE\) and \(\triangle BCD\) are the same.
