To find the length of segment PR in triangle PRQ, you would typically use the distance formula if you have the coordinates of points P and R. The distance formula is:
[ d = sqrt{(x_2 – x_1)^2 + (y_2 – y_1)^2} ]
1. Identify the coordinates of points P and R (let’s call them ( P(x_1, y_1) ) and ( R(x_2, y_2) )).
2. Substitute the coordinates into the distance formula.
3. Simplify the expression to get your answer in square root form.
If you provide the coordinates, I can help you calculate the length of PR!
