P lies on the bisector of ∠BAC. PM and PN are perpendiculars from P to AB and AC. Which rule gives △AMP ≅ △ANP?

  • AAAS
  • BASA using AM = AN
  • CSSS
  • DSAS

Step-by-Step Solution

∠MAP = ∠NAP (bisector), ∠AMP = ∠ANP = 90°, and AP is common — it is opposite the right angles, not between the two angles. So AAS, and PM = PN.
Answer: A) AAS
