Question

Given PQ||BC find the length of AQ

Answer 1

AP/PB = AQ/QC

6/12 = AQ/18

AQ = 9

Answer: D. 9

Answer 2

Here the triangles are similar. SO we have to use the similarity property, which is:

Corresponding sides are in same proportion, that is

6/12 = PQ/18

Performing cross multiplication,

12PQ = 18*6

Dividing both sides by 12

PQ = 9

Correct option is the last option .
