<p>Points QRS were on a line, and point P was off of it. You didn’t have a diagram. It said that PQ = PS, and thats all you knew, and then it asked what MUST be true.</p>
<p>If you draw it out, it makes an isosceles triangle, PQ being the hypotenuse of one of the triangles formed when you draw the altitude. Problem is, two of the options involved PQ being greater than a leg of the triangle, which had me completely confused, because both were right. Everybody seems to think the answer was A, which I had at first, but I changed it to D.</p>
<p>My reasoning behind D being correct is that since its an isosceles triangle, the altitude is also the median of the base. Meaning that QR = RS, meaning that PQ > RS is the same as PQ > QR. This HAS to be true too, because QR was a leg of the triangle, as was PR.</p>
<p>wow i did not think of that question that way at all, and i still got it right lol. i thought that QRS was on the line, and then p was also on the line, but you do not know where. so i picked A.</p>
<p>@ BobDylan, I ran into the EXACT same problem. Worked on it for like 5 minutes (It was KILLING me), then I realized that it didn’t have to be isosceles, just equiangular on Q and S.</p>
<p>an answer is an answer. It’s better than going over old problems that we already did. If you still have questions, just go back and read the old posts on page 10. @sshole.</p>
