If  AP = a , BP = b , CP = c , DP = d ,  find sides p, q  of rectangle.

$${If}\:\:{AP}\:=\:{a}\:,\:{BP}\:=\:{b}\:,\:{CP}\:=\:{c}\:,\:{DP}\:=\:{d}\:, \\ $$$${find}\:{sides}\:\boldsymbol{{p}},\:\boldsymbol{{q}}\:\:{of}\:{rectangle}. \\ $$

nice method sir!  (iii)−(iv):  k=((c^2 −d^2 −q^2 )/(2q))  (ii)−(i):  k=((b^2 −a^2 −q^2 )/(2q))  ⇒c^2 −d^2 =b^2 −a^2   i.e. we can only give a,b,c.  ⇒d^2 =a^2 +c^2 −b^2

$${nice}\:{method}\:{sir}! \\ $$$$\left({iii}\right)−\left({iv}\right): \\ $$$${k}=\frac{{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{d}^{\mathrm{2}} −{q}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}{q}} \\ $$$$\left({ii}\right)−\left({i}\right): \\ $$$${k}=\frac{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{q}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}{q}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{d}^{\mathrm{2}} ={b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${i}.{e}.\:{we}\:{can}\:{only}\:{give}\:{a},{b},{c}. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{d}^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
