To prove that \( PQ + PR = 2PS \) given that \( S \) is the midpoint of side \( QR \) of triangle \( PQR \), we can use vector algebra. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Define the position vectors Let: - \( \vec{P} \) be the position vector of point \( P \) - \( \vec{Q} \) be the position vector of point \( Q \) - \( \vec{R} \) be the position vector of point \( R \) - Since \( S \) is the midpoint of \( QR \), we can express the position vector of \( S \) as: ...
