Question

In the given figure, find PM

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Angle LOP = Angle MOP,

OL = OM = 3cm

In ∆OPM,

since Angle OMP = 90°

It is a 4ight angled triangle, by Pythagoras theorem,

H² = P² + B²

OP² = OM² + PM²

5² = 3² + PM²

25 = 9 + PM²

PM² = 25-9 = 16

PM = √16 = 4
