-------------------------
PQ + QR > PR and QR < + PR
12 + QR > 25 and QR < 25
QR > 13 and QR < 25
-----
And: 13 < QR < 25

if segment PR=25 and segment PQ=12 then what does QR=, the points sit on a straight line and are noncollinear P___________Q___________R
PQ + QR = PR
12 + QR = 25 ------ Substituting 12 for PQ and 25 for PR
QR = 25 - 12 ------ Subtracting 12 from both sides
