Assume that PQ || BC and Sum of interior angles on same side of transversal BQ intersecting parallel lines PQ and BC
Then, /_PQB + /_ QBC = 180°
/_PQB = 180° - 90°
/_ PQB = 90°
(i) Hence, PQ is perpendicular at AB
Then, /_ QPB = /_ PBC [ Alternate Angles ]
In ∆ CPB and ∆ APB, we have
BP = BP [ Common ]
AP = PC [ P is midpoint on AC ]
/_CBP = /_ APB [ BP bisects AC
Hence, both ∆s are congruent by SAS congruency.
PB = PA [ c.p.c.t ]
As PA is half of AC
(iii) PA = PB = 1/2 ( AC )
In ∆ PQB and ∆ PAQ we habe
PQ = PQ [ common ]
PB = PA [ proved above ]
/_PQB = /_ PQA [ 90° each ]
Hence both ∆s are congruent by RHS congruency.
So, AQ = BQ [ c.p.c.t ]
(ii) Hence, Q is mid point of AB
Have great future ahead!
