\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first thing you need to do is show that all four points are collinear which is a simple matter of pointing out that the midpoint of a segment has to be on the segment by definition of the midpoint of a segment.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, also using the definition of a midpoint, you show that PQ = QR and that QR = RS. Then by transitive equality PQ = RS.\r
