Answer:
Given:
\dfrac{PS}{SQ}=\dfrac{PT}{TR}
SQ
PS
=
TR
PT
To Prove That:
PQR is an isosceles triangle.
Proof:
According to Basic Proportionality Theorem:
A line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.
Therefore by this:
ST ║QR
∠ PST = ∠ PQR (Corresponding angles) ……..Equation (i)
∠ PST = ∠ PRQ (Given)------Equation (ii)
From equation (i) and equation (ii),
∠ PRQ = ∠ PQR
From this we can say that:
PQ = PR (Sides opposite the equal angles are equal)
Therefore we can say that PQR is an isosceles triangle.
