Solution
In ∆PQR, ∠R = ∠P and QR = 4 cm and PR = 5 cm. Then the length of PQ is 4 cm.
Explanation:
Given, ∆PQR such that ∠R = ∠P, QR = 4 cm and PR = 5 cm
In ∆PQR, ∠R = ∠P
⇒ PQ = QR ...[Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]
⇒ PQ = 4 cm ...[∵ QR = 4 cm]
Hence, the length of PQ is 4 cm.

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
