Direction for Q.8 to Q.11 (4 question together).

Triangle ABC has vertices A (0, 0), B (9, 0) and C (0, 6). The points P and Q lie on the side AB such that
AP = PQ = QB. Similarly the points R and S lie on the side AC so that AR = RS = SC. The vertex C is
joined to each of the points P and Q in the same way, B is joined to R and S. Also the line segment PC
and RB intersect at X and the line segments QC and SB intersect at Y.
