The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine what the union of the sets \( P \) and \( Q \) represents. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Sets - **Set \( U \)**: This is the set of all triangles. - **Set \( P \)**: This is the set of all isosceles triangles, which are triangles with at least two equal sides. - **Set \( Q \)**: This is the set of all equilateral triangles, which are triangles where all three sides are equal. - **Set \( R \)**: This is the set of all right-angled triangles, which are triangles that have one angle equal to 90 degrees. ### Step 2: Define the Union of Sets The union of two sets, denoted as \( P \cup Q \), includes all elements that are in either set \( P \) or set \( Q \) or in both. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between \( P \) and \( Q \) - Every equilateral triangle (set \( Q \)) is also an isosceles triangle (set \( P \)) because it has at least two equal sides. - However, not every isosceles triangle is equilateral, as an isosceles triangle can have two equal sides and a different third side. ### Step 4: Determine the Union \( P \cup Q \) Since \( Q \) (equilateral triangles) is a subset of \( P \) (isosceles triangles), the union \( P \cup Q \) will include: - All isosceles triangles (from set \( P \)) - All equilateral triangles (from set \( Q \)) Thus, the union \( P \cup Q \) represents the set of all isosceles triangles, which includes equilateral triangles as well. ### Final Answer The set \( P \cup Q \) represents the set of all isosceles triangles. ---
