उत्तर


i. In ∆PQM and ∆PQR,

∠PMQ = ∠PQR = 90°

∠QPM = ∠RPQ  ...(Common)

∴ ∆PQM ~ ∆PRQ  ...(By AA Similarity)

∴ `(PQ)/(PR) = (PM)/(PQ)`

`=>` PQ2 = PM × PR

ii. In ∆QMR and ∆PQR,

∠QMR = ∠PQR = 90°

∠QRM = ∠QRP   ...(Common)

∴ ∆QRM ~ ∆PQR  ...(By AA similarity)

∴ `(QR)/(PR) = (MR)/(QR)`

`=>` QR2 = PR × MR

iii. Adding the relations obtained in (i) and (ii), we get,

PQ2 + QR2 = PM × PR + PR × MR

= PR(PM + MR)

= PR × PR

= PR2
