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 )
