1. Pythagoras Theorem :-
This theorem states that : In a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to sum of the squares of remaining sides.
2. Converse of Pythagoras Theorem :-
This theorem states that : If the square of the longest side is equal to sum of the squares of remaining two sides, angle opposite to longest side is right angle.
3. Area Ratio Theorem :-
This theorem states that :- The ratio of the area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides.

A triangle PQR such that PS is the angle bisector of angle QPR.
[tex] \\ \large\underline{\sf{To\:prove - }}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \: \dfrac{QS}{SR} = \dfrac{PQ}{PR} \\ \\ [/tex]
Construction :-
Through R, draw a line RT parallel to PS intersecting QP at T when produced.
Proof :-
As it is given that, PS is angle bisector of angle QPR.
[tex]\sf \: \angle 1 = \angle 2 - - - (1) \\ \\ [/tex]
By construction, we have PS || RT
[tex]\sf \: \angle 3 = \angle 2 - - - (2) \: \: \{alternate \: interior \}\\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: \angle 1 = \angle 4 - - - (3) \: \: \{corresponding \: angles \}\\ \\ [/tex]
So, from equation (1), (2) and (3), we get
[tex]\sf \: \angle 3 = \angle 4\\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\bf\implies \:PR = PT \\ \\ [/tex]
[ Side opposite to equal angles are equal ]
Now, In triangle QRT
PS || RT
So, By Basic Proportionality Theorem, we have
[tex]\sf \: \dfrac{QS}{SR} = \dfrac{PQ}{PT} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: \bf\implies \:\dfrac{QS}{SR} = \dfrac{PQ}{PR} \: \: \: \{ \because \: PR = PT \} \\ \\ [/tex]
