Question 5
If Q is a point on the side SR of a $Δ P S R$ such that PQ = PR, then prove that PS > PQ.

Open in App

Solution

Given in $Δ P S R, Q$ is a point on the side SR such that PQ = PR.
To prove PS > PQ

Proof in $Δ P R Q P Q = P R$ [given]
$\Rightarrow ∠ R = ∠ R Q R . . . (i)$
[angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
But $∠ P Q R > ∠ S$ ....(ii)
[exterior angle of a triangle is greater than each of the opposite interior angle]
from Eqs. (i) and (ii) $∠ R > ∠ S$
$\Rightarrow P S > P R$ [side opposite to greater angle is longer]
$\Rightarrow P S > P Q [∵ P Q = P R]$
