PR
. Given P, Q, equals, 2PQ=2 and Q, R, equals, 14, commaQR=14, determine the length start overline, P, R, end overline, .
PR
.

We are given that point \( Q \) lies on line segment \( PR \), and the lengths of the segments \( PQ \) and \( QR \) are provided as follows:

- \( PQ = 2 \)
- \( QR = 14 \)

To find the total length of the line segment \( PR \), we simply add the lengths of \( PQ \) and \( QR \):

\[
PR = PQ + QR
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
PR = 2 + 14 = 16
\]

Thus, the length of \( PR \) is 16 units.
