Solution
ΔAMT∼ΔAHE. AMAH=MTHE=ATAE=75 In ΔAMT, AM=6.3cm,AT=4.9cm and ∠A=120∘.
Draw a ray from point A forming an acute angle with AT on the opposite side of M. Divide the ray into 7 equal parts such that AS1=S1S2=S2S3=S3S4=S4S5=S5S6=S6=S7
Join S7 with T. From S5, draw a line ∥ to S7T and let it intersect AT at E.
Draw EH∥TM. ΔAEH is the required similar triangle.
