Question

2, On a line AB, take four points P, Q, R and S in order such that PQ = RS
State whether PR = QS. Give reasons in support of your answer.
​

Answer 1

$\LARGE{\bf{\underline{\underline{GIVEN:-}}}}$

• PQ = RS.

$\LARGE{\bf{\underline{\underline{SOLUTION:-}}}}$

Now, PQ = RS.

Add QR on both sides.

PQ + QR = RS + QR.

We know that PQ + QR = PR and RS + QR = QS. Therefore, we can write the above equation as:

PR = QS.

Hence proved.

Look at the figure for more clarification.
