Given that a right angle {tex}\triangle PQR{/tex} in which {tex}\angle P Q R = 90 ^ { \circ }{/tex}And S and T are the points of trisection of QR. Thus,  QS = ST = TR
To Prove: 8PT2 = 3PR2 + 5PS2.
Proof: Let QS = ST = TR = x units
Then, QS = x units, QT = 2x units and QR = 3x units. 
From right angle triangles PQS, PQT and PQR where {tex}\angle Q= 90^°{/tex} in all, by using Pythagoras Theorem, we have
PS2 = PQ2 + QS2 ... (i) 
PT2 = PQ2 + QT2... (ii) 
and PR2 = PQ2 + QR​​​​​​... (iii)
Multiplying (iii) by 3, (i)  by 5 and (ii) by 8
Adding thus obtained (iii)  and (i) and Subtracting (ii) from it, we get
{tex}\therefore{/tex} 3PR2 + 5PS2 - 8PT2
=3(PQ2 + QR2) + 5(PQ2 + QS2) - 8(PQ2 + QT2)
= 3QR2 + 5QS2 - 8QT2
{tex}= 3 \times ( 3 x ) ^ { 2 } + 5 ( x ) ^ { 2 } - 8 \times ( 2 x ) ^ { 2 }{/tex} [{tex}\because{/tex} QR = 3x, QS = x and QT = 2x]
(27x+ 5x- 32x) = 0
Thus, 3PR2 + 5PS2 - 8PT2 = 0
Hence, 8PT2 = 3PR2 + 5PS2
Hence Proved
