in a triangle pqr , x and y are the points on PQ and PR respectively. if PQ=QR and QX=QY, show that PX=RY

Dear student,

Figure for the given question would be:


Given, PQ= QR---(i) andQX= QY ---(ii)Subtracting (i) and (ii). We get:PQ- QX = QR - QYPX = RY

Regards

PQ = PR
2PX=2PR
​PX = RY

mention the question  correctly.....it seems something is missing because it is difficult to find out.

According to Euclid's axiom, if equals are subtracted from equals then the remainders are equal.
This implies in the case too.
PQ=QR
QX=QY
PQ-QX=QR-QY (Axiom)
=> PX=RY
hence proved.
