Worked solution

23((i))

1. Apply the midpoint formula to points Q and R.

For Q(5,11)Q(5,11) and R(9,1)R(9,1),
M=(5+92,11+12)=(142,122)=(7,6).M=\left(\frac{5+9}{2},\frac{11+1}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{14}{2},\frac{12}{2}\right)=(7,6).

Answer

(7,6)(7, 6)

23((ii))

1. Calculate the gradient of $PM$ using the coordinates of $P$ and $M$.

For P(1,1)P(1,1) and M(7,6)M(7,6),

gradient of PM=6−17−1=56.\text{gradient of } PM=\frac{6-1}{7-1}=\frac{5}{6}.

Answer

56\dfrac{5}{6}

23((iii))

1. Find the lengths of the two sides forming angle $QPR$.

PQ=(5−1)2+(11−1)2=42+102=116PQ=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(11-1)^2}=\sqrt{4^2+10^2}=\sqrt{116}
PR=(9−1)2+(1−1)2=82+02=8PR=\sqrt{(9-1)^2+(1-1)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+0^2}=8

2. Decide whether $PM$ can be the angle bisector of $\angle QPR$.

Since PQ=116≠8=PRPQ=\sqrt{116}\ne 8=PR, triangle PQRPQR is not isosceles with PQ=PRPQ=PR.

So the median PMPM to QRQR does not bisect ∠QPR\angle QPR.

Answer

The statement is correct. Since PQ=PRPQ=PR, triangle PQRPQR is isosceles and MM is the midpoint of QRQR, so PMPM bisects angle QPRQPR.
