from the above the diagrams CM and RN are the medians for the triangles.
we know that ΔABC≈ ΔPQR
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR ------------------------(1)
fromΔAMC and ΔPNR
∠A = ∠P
∠M = ∠N = 90
AC = PR
by ASA similarity
ΔAMC ≈ΔPNR ----PROVED
from this
AC/PR = CM/RN = AM/PN
FROM ------(1)
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR
from that
CM/RN = AB/PQ -----PROVED
from ΔBMC and ΔQNR
∠B = ∠Q
∠M = ∠N = 90
BC = RQ
by ASA similarity
ΔBMC≈ΔQNR ------PROVED

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) ABC~PQR
AB/PQ=BC/QR=CA/RP. (1)
angleA=angleP, angleB=angleQ, angleC=angleR. (2)
AB=2AM and PQ=2PN.
(as CM and RN are medians)
From (1)
2AM/2PN=CA/RP
AM/PN=CA/RP. (3)
angleMAC=angleNPR. [FROM (2)] (4)
FROM (3), (4)
TRIANGLEamc~triangle PNR. (SAS)(5)
(2) FROM (5)
CM/RN=CA/RP
CA/RP=CA/RP
