Given: ∠S≅∠T;ST¯||QP¯

Which one(s) of the following must be true?

(1)∠P≅∠Q

(2)PR¯≅QR¯

(3) R is the midpoint of PT¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

Only statement (1) and (2) are true.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Converse of isosceles theorem.

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite to those angles are congruent.

From the given figure it can be observed thatTR¯ is opposite to∠S andRS¯ is opposite to∠T.

As ∠S≅∠T, TR¯≅RS¯.

02

Step 2. Description of step.

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal then the angles made by transversal with respect to lines are congruent and are called alternate angles.

As,ST¯||QP¯ and∠T≅∠P;∠Q≅∠S.

03

Step 3. Transitive property of congruence.

If∠A≅∠B and∠B≅∠C then ∠A≅∠C.

Since, ∠P≅∠T, ∠T≅∠Sand ∠S≅∠Qimplies that ∠P≅∠Q.

04

Step 4. Converse of isosceles theorem.

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite to those angles are congruent.

From the given figure it can be observed that QR¯is opposite to ∠Pand PR¯is opposite to ∠Q.

As ∠P≅∠Q, PR¯≅QR¯.

05

Step 5. Two column proof.

Write a two-column proof based on above explanation.

Statement

Reason

∠S≅∠T

Given

TR¯≅RS¯

Converse of isosceles triangle theorem

ST¯||QP¯

Given

∠T≅∠P;∠Q≅∠S

Alternate interior angles

∠P≅∠Q

Transitive property

PR¯≅QR¯

Converse of isosceles triangle theorem

Therefore, only (1) and (2) statements are true.
