Step-by-step explanation:

Given PQRS IS A PARALLELOGRAM PX AND QY ARE RESPECTIVELY THE PERPENDICULAR FROM P AND Q TO SR PRODUCED. PROVE THAT PX=QY

  • PQRS is a parallelogram
  • PX and PQ are perpendicular to SR
  • QY is perpendicular to SR produced to meet QY.
  • We need to prove that PX = QY (two altitudes are equal)
  • Proof : Since PQRS is a parallelogram,  
  •                      side PS = QR (because opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)
  • Angle PSR + angle QRS = 180 degree (since sum of adjacent angles = 180 degree)
  •            So PSR = 180 – QRS ------------------ 1
  •      Angle YRQ + angle QRS = 180 degree (since linear pair of angles)
  •               YRQ = 180 – QRS -------------------2
  • From 1 and 2 we get
  •               YRQ = PSR
  • In triangle PXS and triangle QRY
  •                                          PS = QR
  •                               So PSR = YRQ
  •                 Angle PXS = angle QYR (since each angle is 90 degree)
  • Therefore by AAS rule
  •                     Triangle PXS is congruent to triangle QRY
  •                     Therefore PX = QY (Proved)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PS IS PARALELL TO QR, SO

ANGLE PSX = ANGLE QRY

SP=QR

ANGLE PXS = QYR=90 DEGREE

SO PSX IS CONGRUENT TO QRY

BY CPCPT, PX = QY
