Look at triangle PQR. http://oi47.tinypic.com/2yxrz42.jpg Segment RX is an angle bisector. Which statement must be true? The measure of angle XRP is the same as the measure of angle XRQ. The measure of angles RXQ and angle RXP is 90˚each. The length of segment XQ = 2.67 inches The length of segment XQ is the same as the length of XP.

The length of segment XQ is the same as the length of XP.

The first statement is right. Angle bisector means a line that cuts the angle in half, therefore the angles must be equal.

Look up the definition of an angle bisector. An angle bisector cuts the angle in half, so the angle XRP and angle XRQ are both 15, which means that they are equal to one another. 15 is half of 30.
