14(b)

1. State the equal side from the rhombus and the given equal side.

Since ABCDABCD is a rhombus,
AD=AB.AD=AB.
Also, it is given that
AQ=BP.AQ=BP.

2. State the included equal angle and conclude congruence by SAS.

Since AD∥BCAD\parallel BC and P,B,CP,B,C are collinear, AD∥BPAD\parallel BP.

Since A,B,QA,B,Q are collinear, AQAQ lies on the same straight line as ABAB.

Hence
∠DAQ=∠ABP.\angle DAQ=\angle ABP.

Therefore,
△DQA≅△APB\triangle DQA\cong\triangle APB
by SAS.

Answer

AD=ABAD=AB since ABCDABCD is a rhombus.

∠DAQ=∠ABP\angle DAQ=\angle ABP since AD∥BCAD\parallel BC and P,B,CP,B,C are collinear, while A,B,QA,B,Q are collinear.

AQ=BPAQ=BP is given.

Therefore, △DQA≅△APB\triangle DQA\cong\triangle APB by SAS.
