Perpendiculars are drawn, respectively, ...

Perpendiculars are drawn, respectively, from the points `Pa n dQ` to the chords of contact of the points `Qa n dP` with respect to a circle. Prove that the ratio of the lengths of perpendiculars is equal to the ratio of the distances of the points `Pa n dQ` from the center of the circles.
