Question

In figure, if 1=2 and ΔNSQΔMTR, then prove that ΔPTSΔPRQ

Open in App
Solution

Given, ΔNSQΔMTR and 1=2
To prove ΔPTSΔPRQ
Proof since, ΔNSQΔMTR
So, SQ = TR ….(i)
Also, 1=2 PT=PS ……(ii)
[ since, sides opposite to equal angles are also equal]
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), PSSQ=PTTR
STQR [by convenes of basic proportionally theoreum]
1=PQR
And 2=PRQ
In ΔPTS and ΔPRQ, [common angles]
P=P
1=PQR
2=PRQ
ΔPTSΔPRQ [by AAA similarity criterion]
