Answer:

See the proof.

Explanation:

Conclusion | Justification

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Ray TQ bisects Angle PTR ; Given

2) Ray TR bisects Angle QTS ; Given

3) Angle PTQ is congruent to Angle RTQ; Definition of angle bisector

4) Angle RTQ is congruent to Angle RTS; Definition of angle bisector

5) Angle PTQ is congruent to Angle RTS; Transitive property of Congruence

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray TQ cuts Angle PTR into two equal angles; those angles are PTQ and RTQ.

Ray TR cuts Angle QTS into two equal angles; those angles are RTQ and RST.

The transitive property says:

If u=w and w=r, then u=r.

We have the following for 3 and 4 which implies 5 based on this transitive property:

If Angle PTQ is congruent to Angle RTQ and Angle RTQ is congruent to RTS, then Angle PTQ is congruent to Angle RTS.
