if pqs is 45 degrees then sqr is 45 degrees by the definition of a bisector. pqs is equal to sqr becuase of definition of congruent angles therefore pqs + sqr= 90 by the addition property. what this means is that pqr is a right angle because of the definition of a right angle

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in triangle PQR

QS bisect the angle PQR


\angle PQS=45^(\circ)

We have to prove that
\angle PQR=90^(\circ)


\angle PQS=\angle PQR

Because QS bisect the angle PQR.

Therefore,
\angle PQR=45^(\circ)


\angle PQR=\angle PQR+\angle PQS

Substitute the values then we get


\angle PQR=45+45


\angle PQR=90^(\circ)

Hence, triangle PQR is right triangle because one angle of triangle is of 90 degrees.

Hence, proved.
