Question

Slade draws triangle PQR. He then constructs a perpendicular bisector from vertex P that intersects side QR at point T. What can Slade conclude, based on his drawing? QT = RT TP = RQ PQ = PR PT = PQ

Answer 1

Answer:

QT = RT

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing triangle PQR the perpendicular bisector cuts the triangle in half, which results in two sides that are congruent. This makes QT and RT congruent.

Answer 2

Based on the triangle QPR  option C) PQ = PR and A) QT = RT

• A) QT = RT
• B) TP = RQ
• C) PQ = PR
• D) PT = PQ

What is congruent triangle?

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure.

In QPR

∠Q = ∠R (∵ PT is a bisector)

∴QT = RT (∵ PT is a bisector of QR)

PT is a common  between PQT and RQT

∴PQ = PR ( by congruent part of congruent triangle)
