In triangle PQR
Construction: Draw PX perpendicular to QR where x lies on QR
Since:
PX perpendicular to QR
In the 2 triangles PXQ and PXR
given
proved up
PX = PX ------- common side in the 2 triangles
Triangle PXQ congruent to triangle PXR by the AAS theorem of congruency
As a result of congruency
PQ = PR ------- proved
