Q4:
In Fig. 6.36, $\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR}$ and $\angle 1 = \angle 2$. Show that $\triangle PQS \sim \triangle TQR$.
In Fig. 6.36, $\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR}$ and $\angle 1 = \angle 2$. Show that $\triangle PQS \sim \triangle TQR$.
Solution :
Given:
1. In $\triangle PQR$, $\angle 1 = \angle 2$ (where $\angle 1 = \angle PQR$ and $\angle 2 = \angle PRQ$).
2. The ratio condition: $\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR}$.
To Prove:
$\triangle PQS \sim \triangle TQR$
Step 1: Analyze the properties of $\triangle PQR$
In $\triangle PQR$, we are given that $\angle 1 = \angle 2$.
Let $\angle 1 = \angle PQR$ and $\angle 2 = \angle PRQ$.
Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal, and conversely, if two angles of a triangle are equal, the sides opposite to them are equal [By the Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem].
Therefore, $PQ = PR$.
Step 2: Modify the given ratio
The given equation is: $\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR}$.
Substitute $PR = PQ$ (derived in Step 1) into the equation:
$\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PQ}$
Rearranging the terms to align with the sides of the triangles we intend to prove similar ($\triangle PQS$ and $\triangle TQR$):
$\frac{QS}{QR} = \frac{PQ}{QT}$
Step 3: Establish Similarity using SAS Criterion
Consider $\triangle PQS$ and $\triangle TQR$:
1. From Step 2, we have $\frac{QS}{QR} = \frac{PQ}{QT}$ (or equivalently $\frac{PQ}{QS} = \frac{QT}{QR}$).
2. Observe the common angle between these sides: $\angle PQS = \angle TQR$ (This is the same angle, $\angle 1$).
Since one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including these angles are in the same ratio, the triangles are similar [By SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Similarity Criterion].
Conclusion:
Therefore, $\triangle PQS \sim \triangle TQR$.
Final Answer: Since the ratio of the sides including the common angle $\angle Q$ are proportional ($\frac{PQ}{QT} = \frac{QS}{QR}$), $\triangle PQS \sim \triangle TQR$ by the SAS similarity criterion.

I’m really glad I found Rahul sir through UrbanPro. He has been extremely helpful with my Computer studies and has made understanding different concepts so much easier for me. He is very patient while explaining things and always makes sure that I actually understand the topic instead of just memorising it. I started taking his help after my Unit Tests, and it has genuinely made a big difference. With my half-yearlies coming up, I feel much more prepared and confident in Computer, and a lot of that is because of his guidance and support. He has helped me improve so much and has always been really supportive whenever I’ve had doubts. I’m really thankful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Computer tutor!
