Answer
In fig.$\text{PL}\bot\text{OA}$ and $\text{PM}\bot\text{OB}$ and $\text{PL}=\text{PM}$
Now in right $\triangle\text{PLO}$ and $\triangle\text{PMO}$,
Side $\text{PL}=\text{PM}$ (given)
Hypotenuse $\text{OP}=\text{OP}$ (common)
$\triangle\text{PLO}\cong\triangle\text{PMO}$ (RHS condition)
Yes $\triangle\text{PLO}\cong\triangle\text{PMO}$
Hence proved.
