1. **State the problem:** Given a diamond-shaped quadrilateral PQRS with diagonals PR and QS intersecting at T, where PR is the perpendicular bisector of QS. Given lengths: PS = 10, QT = 6, PT = 8, QR = 14. Find:
a) $m \angle PTQ$
b) TS
c) PQ
d) RS
2. **Key properties and formulas:**
- Since PR is the perpendicular bisector of QS, it means $\angle PTQ = 90^\circ$ because PR is perpendicular to QS at T.
- T is the midpoint of QS, so $QT = TS$.
- Use the Pythagorean theorem in triangles formed by these points.
3. **Find $m \angle PTQ$:**
Since PR is perpendicular to QS at T, $m \angle PTQ = 90^\circ$.
4. **Find TS:**
Since T is midpoint of QS, $TS = QT = 6$.
5. **Find PQ:**
Triangle PQS is a diamond shape, so PS = PQ = 10 (opposite sides equal in a rhombus).
6. **Find RS:**
Since QR = 14 and QS = QT + TS = 6 + 6 = 12, but QR is a side, not diagonal.
We use the Pythagorean theorem in triangle QTR:
- PT = 8, QT = 6, so PR = $\sqrt{PT^2 + TR^2}$.
But we need RS, which equals PQ = 10 (since PQRS is a rhombus, all sides equal).
**Final answers:**
a) $m \angle PTQ = 90^\circ$
b) $TS = 6$
c) $PQ = 10$
d) $RS = 10$
