To determine whether line segment AB is parallel to side QR in triangle PQR, we will use the properties of triangles and the converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem (also known as Thales' theorem). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given lengths:** - PQ = 12.5 cm - PA = 5 cm - PB = 4 cm ...
