Question

in triangle xyz,P is any point on xy and PQ is perpendicular to XZ if xp = 4 cm,x y = 16 cm and xz = 24 cm,find xq

Answer 1

hlo....hope u understand

Answer 2

XQ = 2.67 cm if P is any point on xy and PQ is perpendicular to XZand xp = 4 cm,x y = 16 cm and xz = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing triangle XQP & XYZ

∠X = ∠X  ( common angle)

∠XQP = ∠XYZ

=>  XQP ≈ XYZ

=> XQ/XY  = QP/YZ  = XP/XZ

=>  XQ/16  = 4/24

=> XQ = 16 /6

=> XQ = 8/3

=> XQ = 2.67 cm
