In figure, ∠PQR = ∠PRQ, then prove that ∠PQS = ∠PRT.

Solution

∵ Ray QP stands on line ST
∴ ∠PQS + ∠PQR = 180°    ...(1)
| Linear Pair Axiom
∵ Ray RP stands on line ST
∴ ∠PRQ + ∠PRT = 180°    ...(2)
| Linear Pair Axiom
From (1) and (2), we obtain
∠PQS + ∠PQR = ∠PRQ + ∠PRT
⇒    ∠PQS = ∠PRT.
| ∵ ∠PQR = ∠PRQ (Given)
