not sure, thats all the info given

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh i see now if you move PR so it goes through center, it shows that both QR and QS are same length as radius

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

produce the line QS to the circumference of the of circle centre 0. Join XR .... Join PS... so you have 2 triangles... in the large circle... |dw:1328600319070:dw| you now have 2 triangles.... RQX and PQS you need to prove congruency start with angle XQR = angle PQS ( vertically opposite) XR = PS ( equal chords subtend angles).... I think that is the statement Angle XRQ = Angle PSQ ( equal angles subtended on the arc PX) I think this proves congruency by Angle Angle Side test... so therefore QR = QS corresponding sides in congruent triangles.. Check my proof as its ages since I did circle geometry
