Angles Q and R or a PQR are 25o and 65o. Write which of the following is true:
(i) PQ2 + QR2= RP2
(ii) PQ2 + RP2= QR2
(iii) RP2 + QR2= PQ2
In the above question, it is given that:
In PQR, we have
∠Q = 25o and ∠R = 65o
We know that,
The sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180o
∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR = 180o
25o + 65o + ∠QPR = 180o
90o + ∠QPR = 180o
∠QPR = 180o – 90o
= 90o
Hence, is right angled at point P
Thus,
By using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
(PR)2 + (PQ)2 = (QR)2
Hence,
Option (ii) is true
