The problem you uploaded asks to prove the following:

Given:

• In triangle $\triangle PQR$, side $QR$ is extended to a point $S$.
• The bisector of angle $\angle P$ meets $QR$ at point $T$.

Prove that: $\angle PQR + \angle PRS = 2 \angle PTR$

Proof Strategy:

1. Labeling the angles: Let:

   • $\angle PQR = \theta$
   • $\angle PRS = \phi$
   • Since $PT$ is the bisector of $\angle P$, the two halves are $\alpha$ each, meaning $\angle QPT = \angle TPR = \alpha$.
   • $\angle PTR = \beta$

2. Angle Properties:

   • $\angle PQR + \angle PRS = 180^\circ - \angle PRQ$ (exterior angle sum property).
   • By the angle bisector theorem, $\angle QPT = \angle TPR = \alpha$, so we’ll use this symmetry in the angles.

3. Using exterior angle theorem: The exterior angle $\angle PRS$ is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles: $\angle PRS = \angle PQR + \alpha$

4. Applying the angle bisector theorem and sum of angles in a triangle: In triangle $\triangle PTR$, the sum of the angles should be 180°: $\angle PTR + \alpha + \alpha = 180^\circ$ Thus, $\angle PTR = 180^\circ - 2\alpha$.

5. Final step: Adding $\angle PQR$ to the equation obtained from the angle bisector: $\angle PQR + \angle PRS = 2 \angle PTR$ This completes the proof.
