Problem

Points P(2,−1)P(2,-1) and Q(6,3)Q(6,3) are two vertices of △PQR\triangle PQR. The third vertex RR lies somewhere on the yy-axis, and ∠P\angle P is a right angle. (i) Determine the coordinates of RR. (ii) Using the result from part (i), calculate the perimeter of △PQR\triangle PQR. Give your answer correct to one decimal place.
