Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given
- R is the midpoint of SQ and PT
To prove
Solution
R is the midpoint of SQ
- SR = 1/2SQ and RQ = 1/2SQ ⇒ SR ≅ RQ
R is the midpoint of PT
- PR = 1/2PT and RT = 1/2PT ⇒ PR ≅ RT
SQ and PT intersect at point R ⇒
- ∠PRQ ≅ ∠TRS as vertical angles
Triangles PQR and TSR have two sides and the included angle congruent, therefore:
as per SAS congruence postulate
- If two sides and the included angle in one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle in another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
