In the figure, RS = QT and QS = RT. Prove that PQ = QR.
       

                                 R
                                                                      Q
                                       S               
                                                                 T
                       
 
 
                                                    P       i cannot post the fig. plz answer without fig. if the fig is neccessary then just connect the the points
 

Answer :
Given
RS = QT  And  QS = RT

In QTR  And  QSR
RS = QT              ( Given )
QS = RT               ( Given )
QR =  QR            ( Common )
So
QTR  QSR    ( By  SSS rule )
  QRS =  RQT   ---------  ( 1 )    ( CPCT )
QRT  =  RQS        ---------  ( 2 )
Now equation 2  -  equation 1 , we get
SRT  =   TQS       ---------- ( 3 )
Also
 RSQ =  QTR
Both side subtract from 180° ,  we get
180° -   RSQ = 180°  - ​ QTR

QSP =  RTP        ------------- ( 4 )
From equation 3 and 4 , we get from AA rule
RPT  QPS          ( By AA rule )

  PQ  = PR             ( CPCT )      

( Hence proved )
