Geometry

In triangle PQR, let X be the intersection of the angle bisector of $\angle P$ with side $\overline{QR}$, and let Y be the foot of the perpendicular from X to side $\overline{PR}$.  If PQ = 8, QR = 5, and PR = 1, then compute the length of $\overline{XY}$.

No answer. Simply logic

Let me repeat the question, and you try to figure out whats wrong.

PQ = 8, QR = 5, PR = 1.

2 sides of a triangle has to add up to more than the third side, but 

$5+1<8$

so this triangle is not even possible in the first place.

THX, Imcool.....very observant !!!!

Best to check the logic of some of these questions  before attempting an answer
