    PQ is the shortest distance from QR to point P because ∆PQR is a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem proves the hypotenuse is the longest side, so PQ must be shorter than PR for any position of R on the segment. Two triangles are congruent because corresponding sides are congruent or shared, using the side-side-side and side-angle-side congruence rules.

    is the shortest distance from
    to point P, because is a right tringle. The

    Pythagorean theorem proves the hypotenuse of the triangle is the longest length, therefore
    must be shorter than
    no matter where R is on the segment.
