Given below are some triangles and lengths of line segments. Identify ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR.
In ΔPQR,
`"PR"/"PQ" = 7/10` .....(i)
`"RM"/"QM" = 6/8` ......(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
`"PR"/"PQ" ≠ "RM"/"QM"`
∴ Ray PM is not the bisector of ∠QPR.
Solution:-
Given:
To prove: Ray PM is not the bisector of angle QPR.
Proof:
Therefore, in triangle PQR with PR/PQ = 7/10 and RM/QM = 6/8, Ray PM is not the bisector of angle QPR.
