To find the area of triangle ABQ within rectangle ABCD, the relevant dimensions are established: AB measures 14 units, CP is 13 units, and DP is 15 units. Point P is located on line segment AB, while point Q is on line segment DP, with line CQ perpendicular to DP at point Q. The area of triangle ABQ can be calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle, which is 0.5 times the base times the height. Given the dimensions and the right angle at Q, the area of triangle ABQ is determined to be 105 square units.

Rectangle $ABCD$ ,point $P$ on $\overline{AB}$ and point $Q$ on $\overline{DP}$ respectively
given: $\overline{AB}=14,\overline{CP}=13$. and $\overline{DP}=15$, if $\overline{CQ}\perp \overline{DP}$ on $Q$
please find the area of $\triangle ABQ$
