Answer:
Given: PQ and PS bisect each other at O.
To prove : PQR ≌ QOS, PR ≌QS and PR ||QS.
Proof :
a. In POR and QOS,
PO= OQ (O is the mid- point of PQ)
RO = OS ( o is the mid - point of RS)
and <POQ ≌<QOS ( vertically opposite angle )
Therefore, POQ ≌ QOS. (By SAS congruent criterion )
b. PR ≌ QS ( Corresponding parts of congruent criterien)
c. PR and QS are two line segment and PQ is a transversal.
since POR ≌ QOS, the corresponding of vertices in these two congruent triangles is P ⟷ Q, O ⟷O and R ⟷S.
Thus, ≺OPR = ≺OQS.
But these angles from a pair of alternate interior angles.hence,PR|| QS.
