b. RT bisects angle R
c. angle STR = 90°
Answers
Answer:
We have,PQRS as the given parallelogram, then PQ∥RS and PS∥QR.Since PQ∥RS and TS is a transversal, then∠PTS = ∠TSR (Alternate interior angles) .
....(1)Now, TS bisects ∠S, then∠PST = ∠TSR ........(2)
From (1) and (2), we get∠PTS = ∠PSTIn
∆PTS,∠PTS = ∠PST (Proved above)
⇒PS = PT [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal] .........(3)
But PS = QR (opposite sides of parallelogram are equal) ........(4)
PT = TQ (As T is the mid point of PQ) ..........(5)
From (3),(4) and (5),
we getQR = TQIn ∆TQR,QR = TQ
(Proved above)⇒∠QTR = ∠QRT [angles opposite to equal sides are equal] .........
(6)Since PQ∥RS and TR is a transversal, then∠TRS = ∠QTR (Alternate interior angles) .........(7)
From (6) and (7),
we get∠QRT = ∠TRS⇒TR bisects ∠R.
Now, ∠R + ∠S = 180° [Adjacent angles of ∥gm are supplementary]
⇒12∠R + 12∠S =90°⇒∠TRS + ∠TSR = 90° .......(8)I
In ∆TSR,∠TRS + ∠TSR + ∠RTS = 180° [Angle sum property]⇒90° + ∠RTS = 180°⇒∠RTS = 90°
