In △PQR\triangle PQR, the side lengths (in cm) are given by PQ=3p+4PQ = 3p + 4, QR=4p−2QR = 4p - 2 and PR=5pPR = 5p, where pp is a positive real number. a. (a) Write the condition that must be satisfied by the three given expressions so that they represent the sides of a triangle. b. (b) Determine the value of pp for which △PQR\triangle PQR is right-angled. c. (c) Identify the vertex of the right angle in △PQR\triangle PQR for the value of pp obtained in part (b), and justify your answer.
