Angle PQR = angle PRQ. then prove that angle PQS = angle PRT

A.68

Linear pair of angles:

If Non common arms of two adjacent angles form a line, then these angles are called linear pair of angles.

Axiom- 1

If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°i.e, the sum of the linear pair is 180°.

Axiom-2

If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180° then the two non common arms of the angles form a line.

The two axioms given above together are called the linear pair axioms.

Solution:

Given,

∠PQR = ∠PRQ

To prove:

∠PQS = ∠PRT

Proof:

∠PQR +∠PQS =180° (by Linear Pair axiom)

∠PQS =180°– ∠PQR — (i)

∠PRQ +∠PRT = 180° (by Linear Pair axiom)

∠PRT = 180° – ∠PRQ

∠PRQ=180°– ∠PQR — (ii)

[∠PQR = ∠PRQ]

From (i) and (ii)

∠PQS = ∠PRT = 180°– ∠PQR

∠PQS = ∠PRT

Hence, ∠PQS = ∠PRT
