To prove that \( PM^2 = QM \cdot MR \) in triangle \( PQR \) where \( P \) is the right angle and \( PM \) is perpendicular to \( QR \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Right Triangles**: - We know that triangle \( PQR \) is right-angled at \( P \). Therefore, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. - We also know that \( PM \) is perpendicular to \( QR \), which means triangle \( PMR \) is also a right triangle at \( M \) and triangle \( PMQ \) is right-angled at \( M \). ...
