In Fig. 6.56, PS is the bisector of QPR of Δ PQR. Prove that


Construct a line segment RT parallel to SP which intersects the extended line segment QP at point T

Given that, PS is the angle bisector of QPR.

QPS = SPR (i)

By construction,

SPR = PRT (As PS || TR) (ii)

QPS = QTR (As PS || TR) (iii)

Using these equations, we get:

PRT = QTR

PT = PR

By construction,

PS || TR

By using basic proportionality theorem for ΔQTR,
