Question

In ∆ PQR, PS is the median drawn through the vertex P on base QR, PQ = PR

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

QP=8cm,PR=6cm and SR=3cm

(I)  In △PQR and △SPR

∠PRQ=∠SRP  (Common angle)

∠QPR=∠PSR   (Given that)

∠PQR=∠PSR   (Properties of triangle )

∴△PQR∼△SPR  (By AAA)

(II)    

SP

PQ

​  

=  

PR

QR

​  

=  

SR

PR

​  

  (Properties of similar triangles)

⇒  

SP

8cm

​  

=  

3cm

6cm

​  

 

⇒SP=4cm and  

⇒  

6cm

QR

​  

=  

3cm

6cm

​  

 

⇒QR=12cm

(III)

Answer 2

Answer:

In A PQR, PS is the median drawn through the vertex P on base QR, PQ = PR. and ZPQS = 40° then the measure of QPS. anuradha4079 is waiting for your help.
