Worked solution
23((i))
1. Apply the midpoint formula to points Q and R.
For and ,
23((ii))
1. Calculate the gradient of $PM$ using the coordinates of $P$ and $M$.
For and ,
23((iii))
1. Find the lengths of the two sides forming angle $QPR$.
2. Decide whether $PM$ can be the angle bisector of $\angle QPR$.
Since , triangle is not isosceles with .
So the median to does not bisect .
The statement is correct. Since , triangle is isosceles and is the midpoint of , so bisects angle .
