Question -

In the given figure, BE ⊥ AC. AD is any line from A to BC intersecting BE in H. P, Q and R are respectively the mid-points of AH, AB and BC. Prove that ∠PQR = 90°



Answer -

 is given with  
AD is any line from A to BC intersecting BE in H.
 
P,Q and R respectively are the mid-points of AH,AB and BC.
We need to prove that  
Let us extend QP to meet AC at M.
In  , R and Q are the mid-points of BC and AB respectively.
Theorem states, the line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it.
Therefore, we get:
  …… (i)
Similarly, in ,
 
  …… (ii)
From (i) and (ii),we get:
  and  
We get,   is a parallelogram.
Also,  
Therefore,  is a rectangle.
Thus,  
Or,
 
Hence proved.
