O Level 2007 E Maths Paper 2 Q3 Solution (Geometry Question)

(a)
$\angle DAB=\angle DCB$
(opposite angles of parallelogram)

$\displaystyle\angle PAD=\frac{1}{2}\angle DAB=\frac{1}{2}\angle DCB=\angle RCB$
(shown)

(b)
$AD=BC$

$\angle PAD=\angle RCB$
(from part a)

$\angle ADC=\angle ABC$
(opposite angles of parallelogram)

$\displaystyle\angle ADP=\frac{1}{2}\angle ADC=\frac{1}{2} ABC=\angle RBC$

Thus, triangles ADP and CBR are congruent (ASA).

(c)(i)
$\angle ADC+\angle DAB=180^\circ$
$\angle DAP+\angle ADP=90^\circ$

Considering the triangle ADP,
$\angle DPA=180^\circ-90^\circ=90^\circ$
(shown)

(ii)
$\angle DAB+\angle ABC=180^\circ$

$\angle BAQ+\angle ABQ=90^\circ$

Considering the triangle ABQ,
$\angle PQR=180^\circ-90^\circ=90^\circ$
(shown)
