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. Statements Justifications SQ = TQ Given m∡SQP = m∡TQR Given m∡RSQ = m∡PTQ Given m∡SQR = m∡SQP + m∡PQR Angle Addition Postulate m∡TQP = m∡TQR + m∡PQR Angle Addition Postulatem∡TQP = m∡SQP + m∡PQR Substitution m∡SQR = m∡TQP Transitive
Property PQ = RQ CPCTC A. Provide the missing statement and justification in the proof. B. Using complete sentences, explain why the proof would not work without the missing step.
