Step-by-Step Solution
The right triangles formed are congruent by AAS (common hypotenuse AP, equal angles at A, right angles), so the two distances are equal by CPCT.
Answer: A) 4 cm
P is on the bisector of ∠A, and its perpendicular distance from arm AB is 4 cm. What is its perpendicular distance from arm AC?
