Answers

Answered by tanishagoyal1

by using PGT and then distance formula you can easily find the value of p as it is a right triangle

Krishnamuliyana: PGT??

Krishnamuliyana: CAN U GIVE ME FULL FORM OF THIS??

tanishagoyal1: pythagoras theorem

Krishnamuliyana: OK

Krishnamuliyana: THANKS!!!!!!

tanishagoyal1: Hsguare = perpendicular square + base square

tanishagoyal1: plz mark it as brainliest

Hi Krishna,

Well you can answer this in two ways.

method 1: Algebraically (lenghty method)
method 2: Geometrically (quick n easy method)

In method 2 , the trick is to observe that both B and C have same y-coordinate values and hence lies on same line.

In method 1, we will have to proceed the obvious methods of using distance formula and pythagoras theorem.

Hope it helped you.
Please let me know if any further doubt.
Cheers !!!
:)
