Let \angle MPR   be x

In \triangle MPR,

\angle MRP=180 \degree-90 \degree-x

\angle MRP=90 \degree-x

Similarly,

In \triangle MPQ,

\angle MPQ=90 \degree-\angle MPR

\angle MPQ=90 \degree-x

\angle MQP=180 \degree-90 \degree-(90 \degree-x)=x

In \triangle QMP\, and\, \triangle PMR,

\angle MPQ\, =\angle MRP

\angle PMQ\, =\angle RMP

\angle MQP\, =\angle MPR

\triangle QMP\, \sim \triangle PMR,                (By AAA)

\frac{QM}{PM}=\frac{MP}{MR}

\Rightarrow PM^2=MQ\times MR

Hence proved
