      In triangle PQR, a point S is on QR such that ∠PSQ =

      ∠SPR. If PQ = 60 cm, PR = 45 cm, and QR = 35 cm, find the length of QS.
      A 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 46 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Since ∠PSQ = ∠SPR, PS is the angle bisector of ∠P.

      Using Angle Bisector Theorem:

      PQ / PR = QS / SR

      Let QS = x cm

      Then SR = 35 - x cm

      60 / 45 = x / (35 - x)

      ⇒ 4 / 3 = x / (35 - x)

      Cross-multiplying:

      4(35 - x) = 3x

      140 - 4x = 3x

      140 = 7x

      x = 20
