In triangle ABC, through the midpoint of AC isdrawn PQ I| AB. The altitude CD = 6 cm. If PQ is 8 less than AB, find PQ and the area of PCQ.
In triangle ABC, through the midpoint of AC is drawn PQ I| AB. The altitude CD = 6 cm. If PQ is 8 less than AB, find PQ and the area of PCQ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If PQ is 8 less than AB..." then PQ = 8, and AB = 16
[PSQ] = 1/2(PQ * CD/2) = 12 cm2
[PCQ] instead of [PSQ]
