In the above figure, seg AC and seg BD intersect each other in point P. If `("AP")/("CP") = ("BP")/("DP")`, then complete the following activity to prove ΔABP ∼ ΔCDP.
Activity: In ΔABP and ΔCDP
`("AP")/("CP") = ("BP")/("DP")` ......`square`
∴ ∠APB ≅ `square` ......Vertically opposite angles
∴ `square` ∼ ΔCDP ....... `square` test of similarity.
