HELLO DEARLet QR = 3a
Given QR is trisected at S and T, hence QS = ST = TR = a
In right DPQR, PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
⇒ PR2 = PQ2 + (3a)2
⇒ PR2 = PQ2 + 9a2 à (1)
In right DPQT, PT2 = PQ2 + QT2
⇒ PT2 = PQ2 + (2a)2
⇒ PT2 = PQ2 + 4a2 à (2)
In right DPQS, PS2 = PQ2 + QS2
⇒ PS2 = PQ2 + a2 à (3)
Consider, 3PR2 + 5PS2 = 3[PQ2 + 9a2] + 5[PQ2 + a2]
= 3PQ2 + 27a2 + 5PQ2 + 5a2
= 8PQ2 + 32a2
= 8[PQ2 + 4a2]
= 8[PQ2 + (2a)2]
= 8[PQ2 + QT2]
= 8PT2 [Since PT2 = PQ2 + QT2]
∴ 3PR2 + 5PS2 = 8PT2
I HOPE ITS HELP YOU DEAR,
THANKS
