Answer

Since, SP is the bisector of the angle ∠RPT.

So, ∠RPS = ∠SPT

From figure,

∠RPS = ∠RQS (As angle in same segment are equal)

Given, PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∵ exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.

∠QRS = ∠SPT

∴ ∠QRS = ∠RPS

or,

∠QRS = ∠RQS

In △QRS,

∠QRS = ∠RQS

∴ SQ = RS (As sides opposite to equal angles are equal.)

Hence, proved that SQ = RS.
