उत्तर
Let us draw a diagonal AC which meets PQ at O as shown below:
Given DC = 8 cm and PQ = 9.5 cm
In ΔADC,
OP = `(1)/(2)"DC"` ....(Mid-point Theorem)
⇒ OP = `(1)/(2) xx 8` = 4 cm
Now,
OQ = PQ - OP
⇒ OQ = 9.5 - 4
= 5.5 cm
In ΔABC,
OQ = `(1)/(2)"AB"` ....(Mid-point Theorem)
⇒ AB = 2 x OQ
= 2 x 5.5
= 11 cm.
