Solution
Given: △ABC, P is mid point of AB, ∠C=90∘ To prove: PA=PB=12AB Construction: Draw PK∥BC Since, PK∥BC with transversal AC, ∠1=∠C=90∘ Also, ∠1+∠2=180 ∠2=180−∠1=180−90=90∘ Now, In △APK and △CPK, KP=KP (Common) ∠1=∠2=90∘ AK=KC (Since, KP∥BC and P is mid point of AB) △APK≅△CPK (SAS rule) Therefore, PA=PC PA=12AB PA=PC=12AB AB=2PC
