in triangle PQR,
PQ=PR [Given]
= angle PRQ=angle PQR[angle opposite to the equal sides are equal]......(1)
since ST|| QR and PQ is a transversal,then
angle PQR = angle PST (corresponding angles).....(2)
since PQ || QR and PR is a transversal,then
angle PRQ=angle PST (corresponding angles).....(3)
but angle PQR = angle PRQ , then from (2) and (3) we get
angle PST = angle PTS
In triangle PST
angle PST = angle PTS (proved)
therefore PT = PS (sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
HOPE IT HELPS....
