Question

in the given fig if aq is perpendicular to ab ad= 20 bd =12 and pb= 18 then find aq​

Answer 1

AQ is parallel to BP, not perpendicular.

In ∆bdp and ∆adq

angle bdp = angle adq ( vertically opp angles)

angle dbp = angle daq = 90°

angle bpd = angle dqa (alternate angles)

Therefore ∆ bdp congruent to ∆ adq
(By AAA postulate)

Therefore BP = AQ = 18 ( By CPCT)

THIS IS THE ANSWRR✌✌✌✌
