Question


A square is inscribed in a triangle with the two shorter sides p and q such that the square has a common right angle with the triangle. What is the perimeter of the square?  


Options:
A .   4(1p+1q)
B .   (pq)3
C .   p2q2(p+q)2
D .   4pqp+q
Answer: Option D
:
D

Option (d) 


A Square Is Inscribed In A Triangle With The Two Shorter Sid...


Assume a 45-45-90 triangle. p=1 and q=1


Since only variables are used, the conditions should satisfy any right angled triangle. The side of the square becomes 0.5 or 12,. The perimeter = 4x12=2


 Look in the answer options, where on the substitution of p=1 and q=1, you get 2. only option (e) gives 2
