  1. Answer:

    CONSTRUCTION: Extend QS to ST , such that QS = ST

    Now, PTRQ is a parallelogram ( as its diagonals bisect each other)

    < PQR = 90° ( given)

    => PTRQ is a rectangle. ( //gm with an angle = 90° is rectangle)

    => PR = QT ( diagonals of rectangles are equal)

    => QS = PR/2

    => QS = 10/5 = 5 cm
