I think the above question needs a correction and `O` is the point of intersection of `TU` and `QS`. Assuming the above condition, The required area OTS is a triangle having two sides are equal and angle `STO` is right angle. So that the triangle OTS is a regular right angled triangle. Here PQ = PS...

Here PQ=PS = 8cm=> ST=4cm => area OTS = 1/2 * 4 * 4 sqcms = 8 sqcms read less

PQRS IS SQUARE AND T AND U are mid pts of PS &QR, TU//PS AND TU=PS(DINCRVPQRS IS A SQUARE), JOIN QS WHICH INTERSECTS TU AT O, IN ∆PQS ST/TP=1(T IS MID PT OF SP) AND TO//PQ, THEREFORE O IS THE MID POINT OF SQ, by theorem, TO//PQ AND TO=1/2 OF PQ =4CM, AR. OF ∆OTS= 1/2*TS*OT=1/2*4*4=8 SQ.cm

The exterior angles obtained on producing the base of a triangle both ways are 100° and 120°. Find all the angles.
1) Draw PQRS Square, Mark Point T on PS which is bisecting PS, Mark U on QR which is bisecting QR. 2) Join SQ where SQ intersects TU at 'O' 3) Now you can find two triangles STO, SPQ so prove both the...

Hello everyone Which is better? : Online tuitions by brands like: Meritnation, Myschool page or Catalyze or regular tuition classes?
I would suggest offline coaching because it binds the students and gives different levels of class surrounding, which is not possible in online classes. However, for extra self-studies, one can take the help of online material.
