In △PQR\triangle PQR, side QRQR is produced to a point SS. Prove that ∠PRS\angle PRS (the exterior angle) is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles ∠PQR\angle PQR and ∠QPR\angle QPR. Only the headings Given and To Prove are provided below. Complete the task that follows. Given: △PQR\triangle PQR with QRQR produced to SS. To Prove: ∠PRS=∠PQR+∠QPR\angle PRS = \angle PQR + \angle QPR. Write a full paragraph proof under the headings Given, To Prove, Proof, and Conclusion. Explicitly cite every axiom, definition, or theorem used in each step of your reasoning.
