(Note: We have to assume PXT is a straight line segment or else it couldn't be true.) PLAN: We only have to prove that all three triangles in the figure are right triangles which have their corresponding angles congruent. For then Angle S will be congruent to right Angles 4 and 5. The "main" theorem we will use is: If two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent. Angles 4 and 5 are given as right angles and Angle 1 is Congruent to Angle 2. Therefore by that "main" theorem above, Angles P and Y are congruent. Therefore Angle P and Angle T are congruent, for they are both congruent to Angle Y. Angles 1 and 3 are congruent because they are vertical angles. Therefore by the "main" theorem above, Angles 4 and S are congruent. Angle 4 is a right angle. Therefore Angle S is also a right angle, and that proves that ST is perpendicular to SY. Edwin
