Are the point...

Question

Are the points given below collinear? If, state which point lies between the other two $d (P, Q) = 11, d (Q, R) = 6.5, d (P, R) = 4.5$

Open in App

Solution

$d (P, Q) > d (Q, R) > d (P, R)$
$P Q = 11$ units. $Q R = 6.5$ units and $P R = 4.5$ units.
We observe that $6.5 + 4.5 = 11.0$ units
$∴ Q R + P R = P Q$
Thus, the points $P, Q, R$ are collinear.
And $R$ lies between $P$ and $Q$
