- PA = PB AND QA = QB
- PQ ⊥ AB AND PQ BISECTS AB
NOW,
- Let us take (triangle) PAQ AND (Triangle) PBQ .
- In this triangles
- AP = BP. (GIVEN)
- AQ = BQ (GIVEN)
- PQ = PQ (COMMON)
So, (Triangle) PAQ ≡ (Triangle) PBQ (SSS Rule)
Therefore, <APQ =<BPQ (CPCT)
Now let us consider (Triangle) PAC = (Triangle) PBC
WE, HAVE
- AP = BP (GIVEN)
- <APC =<BPC [<ABQ =<BPQ Proved above]
- PC = PC (COMMON)
- So, (Triangle) PAC ≡ (Triangle) PBC [SAS]
- Therefore , AC = BC [CPCT] (1)
→ And, <ACP = <BCP [ CPCT]
Also, <ACP +<BCP = 180⁰ [LINEAR PAIR]
SO, 2 <ACP = 180⁰
OR
<ACP = 90⁰
