Answer:

PR = 8

Explanation:

The median bisects the side opposite the vertex, so ...

P is the midpoint of AC

Since AC = 25, the length of half that segment is PC = 12.5. Of course, that is the sum of segments PR and RC:

PR + RC + PC

PR + 4.5 = 12.5 . . . . . fill in the known values

PR = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 4.5
