Congruence Proofs within Parallelograms: A Study of \(\triangle ADQ\) and \(\triangle CBP\)

Secondary 3

In the diagram, \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram.

The points \(P\) and \(Q\) lie on the diagonal \(AC\) such that \(\angle AQD = \angle BPC = 90{}^\circ\).

  1. Prove that \(\Delta ADQ\) is congruent to \(\Delta CBP\).
  2. Name another pair of congruent triangles.
