Points P, Q, R, and S are collinear. Point Q is between P and R, R is between Q and S, a nd PQRS. If PS= 22 and PR= 19, what is the value of QR?​

Respuesta :

If PQRS are collinear and PS=22,PR=19 then length of QR=13.

Given that PQRS are collinear and PS=22 and PR=19.

We are required to find the length of QR.

Points are collinear when all the points lie on a straight line.

If points P,Q,R and S are collinear, this means that the four points lies on the same straight line.

If point Q is between P and R then PQ+QR=PR-------1

Also if R is between Q and S,then QR+RS=QS-------2

PS=22

PR=19

RS=PS-PR

RS=22-19

RS=3

Since PQ≅RS

Hence PQ=RS=3

From equation 1;

PQ+QR=PR

Substituting the resulting values

3+QR=19

QR=19-3

QR=16

Hence if PS=22, PR=19 then the length of QR=16.
