In Fig 7.51, PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠ QPR. Prove that ∠ PSR >∠ PSQ
It is given in the question that:
PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR
To prove: ∠PSR > PSQ
Proof: ∠PQR > ∠PRQ (i) (PR > PQ as angle opposite to larger side is larger)
∠QPS = ∠RPS (ii) (PS bisects ∠QPR)
∠PSR = ∠PQR + ∠QPS (iii) (Exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles)
∠PSQ = ∠PRQ + ∠RPS (iv) (Exterior angle os a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠PQR + ∠QPS > ∠PRQ + ∠RPS
∠PSR > ∠PSQ [From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)]
