E and F are points on the sides PQ and ...

E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of `DeltaP Q R`. For each of the following cases, state whether EF || QR:
(i) PE = 3.9 cm. EQ = 3 cm. PF = 3.6 cm and FR = 2.4
(ii) PE = 4 cm. QE = 4.5 cm. PF = S cm and RF = 9 cm
(iii) PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 0.18 cm and PF = 0.36 cm

To determine whether the line segment EF is parallel to QR in each case, we can use the Basic Proportionality Theorem (also known as Thales' theorem). According to this theorem, if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally. The theorem states that if EF || QR, then: \[ \frac{PE}{EQ} = \frac{PF}{FR} \] ...
