Question

in the figure below, q lies between p and r. find the location of q so that pq is $\frac{3}{8}$ of pr. p 10 q? r 26 location of q :

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length of PR

$PR=26 - 10=16$

Step2: Calculate the length of PQ

Since $PQ=\frac{3}{8}$ of $PR$, then $PQ=\frac{3}{8}\times16 = 6$

Step3: Find the location of Q

The location of Q is $10+6 = 16$

Answer:

16
