∠ACP ≅ [∠ ______] ...[common angle]
ΔCPA ~ ΔCQB ......[______ similarity test]
`"AP"/"BQ" = (["______"])/"BC"` .......[corresponding sides of similar triangles]

उत्तर
In ΔCPA and ΔCQB
∠CPA ≅ ∠CQB ...[each 90°]
∠ACP ≅ ∠BCQ ...[common angle]
ΔCPA ~ ΔCQB ...[AA similarity test]
`"AP"/"BQ"` = `"AC"/"BC"` ...[corresponding sides of similar triangles]
`7/8` = `"AC"/12`
AC × 8 = 7 × 12
AC = `(7 xx 12)/8`
AC = `(7 xx 3)/2`
AC = `21/2`
AC = 10.5.
