Part 6

Part 6.1· 4 steps

  1. Identify properties of △PTU\triangle PTU.

    Given that PQRSPQRS is a square, ∠P=90∘\angle P = 90^\circ. It is also given that PT=PUPT = PU.
    Therefore, △PTU\triangle PTU is a right-angled isosceles triangle.

  2. Calculate the base angles of △PTU\triangle PTU.

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠PTU=∠PUT=180∘−90∘2=45∘\angle PTU = \angle PUT = \frac{180^\circ - 90^\circ}{2} = 45^\circ
  3. Identify properties of the diagonal QSQS.

    In a square PQRSPQRS, the diagonal QSQS bisects ∠PQR\angle PQR and ∠PSR\angle PSR. Thus, ∠PQS=45∘\angle PQS = 45^\circ.

  4. Compare angles to prove parallelism.

    We have ∠PTU=45∘\angle PTU = 45^\circ and ∠PQS=45∘\angle PQS = 45^\circ.
    Since ∠PTU=∠PQS\angle PTU = \angle PQS, and these are corresponding angles with transversal PQPQ, we can conclude that TU∥QSTU \parallel QS.

Part 6.2

  1. Identify the dimensions of △PQS\triangle PQS.

    Given PQ=10PQ = 10 units. Since PQRSPQRS is a square, PS=PQ=10PS = PQ = 10 units.
    △PQS\triangle PQS is a right-angled triangle at PP.

  2. Calculate the area of △PQS\triangle PQS.

    The area of a right-angled triangle is 12×base×height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}.

    Area of △PQS=12×PQ×PS\text{Area of } \triangle PQS = \frac{1}{2} \times PQ \times PS Area of △PQS=12×10 units×10 units\text{Area of } \triangle PQS = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ units} \times 10 \text{ units} Area of △PQS=12×100 units2\text{Area of } \triangle PQS = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \text{ units}^2 Area of △PQS=50 units2\text{Area of } \triangle PQS = \boxed{\text{50 units}^2}

Part 6.3

102 units10\sqrt{2} \text{ units}

  1. Prove that △QRS\triangle QRS is a right-angled isosceles triangle.

    Since PQRSPQRS is a square, all its sides are equal in length (QR=RSQR = RS) and all its interior angles are 90∘90^\circ (∠R=90∘\angle R = 90^\circ).
    Therefore, △QRS\triangle QRS has two equal sides (QRQR and RSRS) and one right angle (∠R\angle R), which means it is a right-angled isosceles triangle.

  2. Determine the length of QSQS.

    Using the Pythagorean theorem in △QRS\triangle QRS:

    QS2=QR2+RS2QS^2 = QR^2 + RS^2

    Since QR=RS=PQ=10QR = RS = PQ = 10 units (from the properties of a square and the given information in 6.2):

    QS2=(10 units)2+(10 units)2QS^2 = (10 \text{ units})^2 + (10 \text{ units})^2 QS2=100 units2+100 units2QS^2 = 100 \text{ units}^2 + 100 \text{ units}^2 QS2=200 units2QS^2 = 200 \text{ units}^2 QS=200 unitsQS = \sqrt{200} \text{ units} QS=100×2 unitsQS = \sqrt{100 \times 2} \text{ units} QS=102 unitsQS = \boxed{10\sqrt{2} \text{ units}}
