Question

In Fig. 6.44, the side QR of PQR is produced to
a point S. If the bisectors of PQR and
PRS meet at point T, then prove that


QTR= 1/2 QPR.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Bisectors of ∠PQRand ∠PRS meet at point T.

To prove: ∠QTR=

∠QPR.

Proof,

∠TRS=∠TQR+∠QTR (Exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the two interior angles.)

⇒∠QTR=∠TRS−∠TQR --- (i)

Also ∠SRP=∠QPR+∠PQR

2∠TRS=∠QPR+2∠TQR

∠QPR=2∠TRS−2∠TQR

⇒

∠QPR=∠TRS−∠TQR --- (ii)

Equating (i) and (ii),

∴∠QTR=
