Question

Look at the figure shown below.



Which step should be used to prove that point P is equidistant from points R and Q?

If any one side and any one common angle are equal in triangles PQR and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.

If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their third sides are equal.

In triangles PQR and PQS, if one side and one angle are equal, then their corresponding sides and angles are also equal.

In triangles PRS and PQS, all three angles are equal.

Answer 2

May someone please help me understand?

Answer 3

ok. you need to prove both triangles are congruent first.
then by CPCTS you can prove PR=PQ

Answer 4

*CPCTC

Answer 5

Thanks! I am starting to comprehend it now, so thank you so much!

Answer 6

for proving that both triangles are congruent, look which congruency theorem you can use

Answer 7

i see both have a right angle

Answer 8

Ok.

Answer 9

PS is common side (so its congruent by reflexive property )

Answer 10

we have SA
so far..

Answer 11

Alright.

Answer 12

RS \(\cong \) SQ

its given !

Answer 13

OH! Thank you.... I'm a bit sorry that this problem is a bit trivial, and may seem as if someone that didn't even get a mediocre education shouldn't ask this! Wow...... how come I didn't see something that obvious? Thank you!
