The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the line segments PQ and RS that intersect at point X, with the conditions that \( XP = XR \) and \( \angle PSX = \angle RQX \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - We have two line segments PQ and RS intersecting at point X. - The lengths of the segments are equal: \( XP = XR \). - The angles formed at point X are equal: \( \angle PSX = \angle RQX \). 2. **Draw the Diagram:** - Draw two intersecting lines, one representing line segment PQ and the other representing line segment RS. - Mark the intersection point as X. - Label the points as follows: P, Q on line PQ and R, S on line RS. 3. **Apply the Isosceles Triangle Property:** - Since \( XP = XR \), triangle XPR is isosceles with \( XP = XR \). - This means that the angles opposite to these equal sides are also equal. Therefore, \( \angle XPR = \angle XRP \). 4. **Use the Given Angle Condition:** - We know that \( \angle PSX = \angle RQX \). - By the property of angles in a triangle, we can say that if two angles are equal, the sides opposite those angles are also equal. 5. **Conclude the Relationship:** - Since \( \angle PSX = \angle RQX \) and \( XP = XR \), we can conclude that triangle XPS is similar to triangle XQR. - This leads us to the conclusion that the lengths of the segments PS and QR must also be equal. 6. **Final Statement:** - Therefore, we conclude that \( PS = QR \). ### Conclusion: The relationship derived from the given conditions is that \( PS = QR \).
