Solution

In ΔMNP,
seg NQ bisects ∠MNP       ...(Given)
By angle bisector theorem,
`"MN"/"NP" = "MQ"/"QP"`
`25/40 = 14/"QP"`
QP = `(40 × 14)/25`
QP = `560/25`
QP = `112/5`
∴ QP = 22.4
Hence, the measure of QP is 22.4 units.

Complete the proof by filling in the boxes.

solution:

In ∆PMQ,

Ray MX is the bisector of ∠PMQ.

∴ `("MP")/("MQ") = square/square` .............(I) [Theorem of angle bisector]

Similarly, in ∆PMR, Ray MY is the bisector of ∠PMR.

∴ `("MP")/("MR") = square/square` .............(II) [Theorem of angle bisector]

But `("MP")/("MQ") = ("MP")/("MR")`  .............(III) [As M is the midpoint of QR.] 

Hence MQ = MR

∴ `("PX")/square = square/("YR")`  .............[From (I), (II) and (III)]

∴ XY || QR   .............[Converse of basic proportionality theorem]
