Explanation:

Step1: Identify Given

Given that \( \overline{PR} \) bisects \( \angle QPS \), so this is the given information for reason 1.

Step2: Definition of Angle Bisector

By definition of angle bisector, \( m\angle QPR = m\angle RPS \), so reason 2 is "angle bisector".

Step3: Given (Right Angle)

\( \angle QPS \) is a right angle is given, so reason 3 is "Given".

Step4: Measure of Right Angle

A right angle measures \( 90^\circ \), so \( m\angle QPS = 90^\circ \) by definition of right angle, reason 4 is "right angle".

Step5: Angle Addition Postulate

\( m\angle QPR + m\angle RPS = m\angle QPS \) by Angle Addition Postulate, so reason 5 is "Angle Addition".

Step6: Substitution Property

Since \( m\angle QPR = m\angle RPS \), substitute \( m\angle QPR \) with \( m\angle RPS \), so \( m\angle RPS + m\angle RPS = 90^\circ \) by Substitution Property, reason 6 is "Substitution".

Step7: Simplify

\( 2(m\angle RPS)=90^\circ \) (already given as step 7 with Distributive Property, but actually it's combining like terms).

Step8: Solve for \( m\angle RPS \)

Divide both sides by 2: \( m\angle RPS=\frac{90^\circ}{2} = 45^\circ \) by Division Property of Equality, reason 8 is "Division Property of Equality".

Answer:

  1. Given
  2. angle bisector
  3. Given
  4. \( 90^\circ \); right angle
  5. Angle Addition
  6. Substitution
  7. (As is, combining like terms from step 6)
  8. \( 45^\circ \); Division Property of Equality
