find the value of a, b and c
Answers
∠b = ∠PRS = 45° (alternate angles)
∠c = ∠QRT = 35° (alternate angles)
∠PRS + ∠PRQ + ∠QRT = 180° (linear pair)
45° + ∠PRQ + 35° = 180°
80° + ∠PRQ = 180°
∠PRQ = 180° - 80°
∠PRQ = 100°
∠PRQ = ∠a = 100°

step by step explanation:
step 1 to find A :
➟ (Where angle SRT is 180°)
➟ 45 + 35 + a = 180°
➟ 80 + a = 180°
➟ a = 180 - 80
➟ a = 100°
step 2 find b and c:
➥ due to ST || PQ (alternative angle)
➥ b = ∠SRP = 45°
➥ c = ∠TRQ = 35°

checking were its correct:
➤ sum of triangle is 180° so,
➤ a + b + c = 180°
➤ 100 + 45 + 35 = 180°
➤ 145 + 35 = 180°
➤ 180 = 180°
➤ Thus, LHS = RHS
➤ so, the answer is verified !!!

final answer:
- a = 100°
- b = 45°
- c = 35°
