Question

If Q is the midpoint of PR, prove that PR = 2 PQ.
Give a two-column proof.

hintHint:

Use Segment Addition Postulate

The correct answer is:


    SOL – If Q is mid – point  Þ PQ = QR      ---- (1)
    Using Segment Addition Postulate,
    We get,  PR = PQ + QR
    rightwards double arrow PR = PQ + PQ
    rightwards double arrow PR = 2 PQ
    Hence Proved.
