प्रश्न
In a quadrilateral ABCD, if the perpendicular bisectors of AB and AD meet at P, then prove that BP = DP.
उत्तर
Join A to P.
In Δ AMPand Δ DMP
MP = MP
AM = MD
∠ AMP = ∠ DMP = 90°
Therefore, Δ AMPand Δ DMP are congruent.
DP= AP ....... (i)
In Δ ANP and Δ BNP
NP= NP
AN= NB
∠ANP = ∠BNP = 90°
Therefore, Δ ANP and Δ BNP are congruent.
BP= AP ....... (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
BP= DP
Hence, proved.
