In the given figure, PQR is a triangle in which PQ = PR. QM and RN are the medians of the triangle. Prove that
(i) ΔNQR = ΔMRQ
(ii) QM = RN
(iii) ΔPMQ = ΔPNR
Answers
Answer:
(i) 1st property is proven by the isoceles triangle or bpt theorem
which is
pq=pr given
rn and qm are medians therefore nq=mr--------------(a)
angle q=angle r
proved by sas criteria
(ii) (a) proved above
(iii) as nq=mr
therefore pn=pm
also angle n =angle m
by sas criteria this also proved
Step-by-step explanation:
hope helpfull to u
plz mark as brainliest answer

Given:
PQ=PR
QM and RN are the medians
To prove:
(i) ΔNQR = ΔMRQ
(ii) QM = RN
(iii) ΔPMQ = ΔPNR
Solution:
We can prove these by following the given steps-
We know that PQR is an isosceles triangle.
PQ=PR
QM and RN divide PQ and PR into two equal parts
So, PN=NQ=PM=MR (1)
i. In ∆NQR and ∆MRQ,
QR is the common side in both triangles.
Angle Q= Angle R (Angle corresponding to equal sides are equal)
NQ=MR (as per (1))
The triangles are congruent because of the SAS rule.
So, ΔNQR = ΔMRQ
ii. QM and RN are the sides of ∆NQR and ∆MRQ which are congruent.
So, QM=RN (corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal)
iii. In ΔPMQ and ΔPNR,
Angle P is common in both triangles.
PQ=PR (Isosceles triangle)
PN=PM (as per (1))
The triangles are congruent because of the SAS rule.
So, ΔPMQ = ΔPNR
Therefore, ΔNQR = ΔMRQ, QM=RN, and ΔPMQ = ΔPNR.
