OP = OQ ( assume O has coodinates(0,0) )

Distance betwwen two points

(1-0)^2 + (-sqrt3-0)^2 = (s-0)^2 + (t-0)^2
1+3 = s^2+t^2

s^2+t^2 = 4 ---------(1)


Since the lines are perpendicular to each other, product of slopes = -1

(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) * (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)= -1

[(1-0)/(-sqrt3-0)]*[(t-0)/(s-0)] = -1
t/s = sqrt3
t = s*sqrt3
From (1), s^2 + 3s^2 = 4
s^2 = 1

AS S is in 1st quadrant s=1

hope this helps.

Is there another way to get this solution besides the distance formula? Can we use properties od triangles?

If you understand what it means for slopes to be perpendicular, the question can be solved almost immediately. I explained how here:

www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-prep-geometry-t13546.html

Stuart also posted a very clear explanation of this approach in an earlier thread- follow the link from the thread above.

Or, you can notice that you get 30-60-90 triangles if you connect the point P to the x-axis and work from there; that approach is explained in the above thread as well.
