no one giving it a try.....
IN A RIGHT TRIANGLE ACB, RIGHT ANGLED AT C ANGLE BISECTORS OF A AND B MEET BC AND AC AT P AND Q RESPECTIIVELY. M AND N ARE FEET OF PERPENDICULARS FROM P AND Q ON AB. FIND ANGLE MCN.

My method:
A+B=90°
ΔACP ≡ ΔAPM
Thus, CP=PM
In cyclic quad. ACPM,
<CPM = 180°-A
thus in isoceles ΔBPM,
<PMC=<PCM=A2
O is the incentre..
thus,
OC is the angle bisector too..
thus, <AC0=<PCO=45°
so, <MCO= 90°-A2=B2
Similarly, it can be proved that, <NCO=A2
Thus, <MCN=A+B2=45°
hmmm.. Why so? I used it in my proof!
Did I go by longer way when there was a possible shorter route anywhere?
If yes please pointout..!
yup it is....
but trully typical to post it from
the cell phone...
wt let me prepare a rgh sketch
just try to understand it...
coz my drawing is worst.... :o
I can never access targetiit from cell....:(
It just shows the first 2 posts!
How do u manage to POST from cell?? :O
i too had the samee problem
but in the setinngs option enable the mobile view.... in opera mini
failed to uupload the img forrmat is png
last option camera wtt...
a step shortener will be:
<MCB=A/2
similarly, <NCA=B/2
Thus reqd angle= 90°-(A+B)/2 = 45°
in ur figure
it is easy to observe that BQ inttersects CN at right angles.
which leads to
LPAC + LACN = 45°
OR, LCNO = 45°
OR, LMCN = 45°
now which was better
