Solution

Given: ABC, P is mid point of AB, C=90
To prove: PA=PB=12AB
Construction: Draw PKBC
Since, PKBC with transversal AC,
1=C=90
Also, 1+2=180
2=1801=18090=90
Now, In APK and CPK,
KP=KP (Common)
1=2=90
AK=KC (Since, KPBC and P is mid point of AB)
APKCPK (SAS rule)
Therefore, PA=PC
PA=12AB
PA=PC=12AB
AB=2PC
