    Question

    ∆ABC is right angled at C. 'p' is the perpendicular from C to AB; AB, BC, CA are c, a, b respectively, then:

    A.

    pc = ab

    B.

    p2 = ab/c

    C.

    pa = bc

    D.

    pb = ac

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    In △ABC, where C=90:\angle C = 90^\circ:​​
    AB = c (hypotenuse)
    BC = a
    CA = b
    p is the length of the perpendicular from C to AB.
    Concept Used:
    In a right-angled triangle, if p is the perpendicular drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse, the following relationship holds:
    Area of right angle triangle = 12×base×height\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height ​
    Solution:  

    From the concept of triangle;
    12×b×a=12×p×c  ba=pc\frac{1}{2} \times b \times a = \frac{1}{2} \times p \times c \\ \ \\\bf \implies b\cdot a = p\cdot c
