  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    PQR is a right angled at P and M is a point on QR such that PM Perpendicular to QR.

    To show:

    Show that PM^2 = QM.MR .

    Construction:

    Join P and M

    Proof :

    See the above attachment

    ∆PQR is a right angled triangle and right angle at P

    We know that Pythagoras theorem,

    ” The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides”.

    QR^2=PQ^2+PR^2 —————–(1)

    M is the point on QR such that PM is a perpendicular to QR

    QR = QM +MR ———————–(2)

    and ∆ PMR and ∆PMQ are the two right angled triangles

    In ∆ PMR, by Pythagoras theorem

    PR^2=PM^2+MR^2——————(3)

    In ∆PMQ ,by Pythagoras theorem

    PQ^2=PM^2+QM^2 —————-(4)

    On adding (3)&(4) equations then we get

    PR^2+PQ^2=PM^2+MR^2+PM^2+QM^2

    From (1)

    =>QR^2 = 2 PM^2+QM^2+MR^2

    We know that (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

    =>a^2+b^2 = (a+b)^2-ab

    =>QR^2 = 2PM^2+(QM+MR)^2 -2 QM.MR

    From (2)

    =>QR^2=2PM^2 +QR^2 -2 QM.MR

    On cancelling QR^2 both sides

    =>2PM^2-2QM.MR = 0

    =>2(PM^2-QM.MR) = 0

    =>PM^2-QM.MR = 0/2

    =>PM^2-QM.MR = 0

    Therefore,PM^2 = QM.MR

    Hence, Proved.

    Used formulae:

    • Pythagoras theorem:

    ” The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides”.

    • (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
    • a^2+b^2 = (a+b)^2-ab

  2. Step-by-step explanation:

    In PQR, By pythagoras theorem

    QR^2 = PR^2+PQ^2 —– 1

    Similarly, In PMQ & PMR By pythagoras theorem

    PQ^2 = QM^2 + PM^2 ——2

    PR^2 = PM^2+MR^2 ———3

    Putting the value of 2&3 in 1

    QR^2 = QM^2+ PM^2 + PM^2+ MR^2

    QR^2 = 2PM^2 + (QM^2+MR^2)

    QR = QM+MR

    (QM+MR)^2 = 2PM^2 + (QM^2+MR^2)

    (QM^2+MR^2)+2QM*MR = 2PM^2 + (QM^2+MR^2)

    (QM^2+MR^2) – (QM^2+MR^2) +2QM*MR = 2PM^2

    2QM*MR = 2PM^2

    2 will cancel 2

    PM^2 = QM*MR

    Hence, proved
