Question 17 (Essay Worth 8 points)

(10.03 HC) Look at the figure shown below.

Triangle SQR is an obtuse angled triangle. Side SQ of the triangle is extended till T so that SQ is equal to QT. P is a point above point R. Points Q and P and points Q and R are joined using straight lines. Angle PQS is equal to angle TQR. Angle QSR is equal to angle QTP.

A student made the table shown below to prove that PQ is equal to RQ.
