Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The co-ordinates of points P, Q and R is 3, −5 and 6 respectively.
We know that 3 > −5
∴ d(P, Q) = 3 − (−5)
∴ d(P, Q) = 3 + 5
∴ d(P, Q) = 8
We know that 6 > −5
∴ d(Q, R) = 6 − (−5)
∴ d(Q, R) = 6 + 5
∴ d(Q, R) = 11
We know that 6 > 3
∴ d(P, R) = 6 − 3
∴ d(P, R) = 3
∴ d(R, P) + d(P, Q)
= 3 + 8
But d(Q, R) = 11
So, d(R, P) + d(P, Q) = d(Q, R)
