उत्तर
Construction: From P, draw PL ⊥ AB and PM ⊥ BC
Proof: In ΔPLB and ΔPMB
∠PLB = ∠PMB ...(Each = 90°)
∠PBL = ∠PBM ...(Given)
PB = PB ...(Common)
∴ By Angle – angle side criterion of congruence,
ΔPLB ≅ ΔPMB ...(AAS postulate)
The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent
∴ PL = PM ...(C.P.C.T.)
Hence, P is equidistant from AB and BC
