In the given figure, ABC and AMP are two right triangles, right angled at B and M respectively. Prove that:
$ \frac{\mathrm{CA}}{\mathrm{PA}}=\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{MP}} $

Given:

ABC and AMP are two right triangles, right angled at B and M respectively.

To do:

We have to prove that \( \triangle \mathrm{ABC} \sim \triangle \mathrm{AMP} \)

Solution:

In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle AMP$,

$\angle B=\angle AMP=90^o$

$\angle A=\angle A$           (common)

Therefore, by AA criterion,

$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle AMP$

$\frac{\mathrm{CA}}{\mathrm{PA}}=\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{MP}}$     (CPCT)

Hence proved.
