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)]
