    \[ABCD\]is a parallelogram as shown in the figure. If \[AB=2AD\] and \[P\] is the mid-point of\[AB\], find the measure of\[\angle CPD\].

    A) \[{{90}^{o}}\]            

    B)                    \[{{60}^{o}}\]            

    C)        \[{{45}^{o}}\]                        

    D)        \[{{135}^{o}}\]                      

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As shown in the figure, since P is the midpoint of AB and AB = 2AD, we have \[AB=2AP=2AD.\] or \[AP=AD.\] i.e., triangle ADP is an isosceles triangle. If \[\angle ADP=x\] and \[\angle APD=x,\]then, \[\angle A={{180}^{o}}-2x\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle B=2x\] \[\angle CPB=\angle PCB={{90}^{o}}-x\] Since \[\angle APB={{180}^{o}}\]\[\angle DPC={{90}^{o}}\]
