Let's break down and solve the problems in the image you uploaded.

Problem 1:

The perimeter of triangle $\triangle ABC$ is 24 cm, and the perpendicular $CL$ divides side $AB$ into two segments: $AL = 3$ cm and $LB = 5$ cm. The length of side $BC$ is asked.

We know that the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ is: $AB + BC + CA = 24 \text{ cm}$ We are given:

• $AB = AL + LB = 3 \text{ cm} + 5 \text{ cm} = 8 \text{ cm}$
• The problem asks for $BC$, and we can solve for it once we calculate $CA$.

Now, the answer choices suggest that $BC = 6$ cm, $10$ cm, $9$ cm, and $15$ cm. Since $AB = 8$ cm, we subtract the length of $AB$ from the total perimeter to find $BC + CA = 24 - 8 = 16$ cm.

To determine the correct value of $BC$, we would need more data such as angles or ratios, but the logic here is based on the perimeter rule.

Problem 2:

You are asked to determine which pairs of triangles are not similar, based on the points given in the diagram.

• For this, we compare the triangles using properties like angle congruence and proportional side lengths.
• The triangles are labeled with different points, and we must check whether their angle and side length properties meet the criteria for similarity.

Problem 3:

We are given that $AM = 6$ cm, $AB = 12$ cm, $MN = 4$ cm, and $MN \parallel AB$. You are tasked with finding the length of segment $AC$.

This is likely a geometric problem involving similar triangles or parallel lines. The relationship between the segments will allow you to apply proportionality rules.

Additional Questions:

1. What is the definition of similar triangles, and how do you prove two triangles are similar?
2. Can you explain the concept of a perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side?
3. What does the property of parallel lines and proportional segments tell you in geometric problems?
4. How do you calculate the perimeter of a triangle when certain side lengths are known?
5. What are the criteria for triangles to be similar?

Tip: Always check the relationships between angles and side lengths in geometry problems when working with triangles and their properties!
