Question

PC = PD, then (PA)(PC)=(PB)(PD). true or false. geometry help

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Suppose the length of two segments are equal.That is , a=b.

Now, Multiplying , by "p" on both sides

Then,→ a × p= b × p

Now, if ,p=q.then replacing p by q on the left of the above equation

→a × p= b × q

So, the given equation :

⇒ (PA)×(PC)=(PB)×(PD) is true only, when

→  PA=PB, as PC=PD

We can't conclude from the given information,that

⇒  (PA)×(PC)=(PB)×(PD)

False Equation

Answer 2

Its true because pd and pc are the same
