Given:
PR=QR
PQ is the diameter
To find:
Angle PQR
Solution:
The required measure of angle PQR is 45°.
Since PQ forms the diameter of the given circle, any angle formed in the semicircle will be equal to 90°.
So, angle PRQ=90°
Now, in ΔPRQ, PR=QR.
The angles corresponding to PR and QR are of equal measure.
Angle RPQ=Angle PQR
Angle RPQ+angle PQR+angle PRQ=180°
2(Angle PQR)+90°=180°
2(Angle PQR)=90°
Angle PQR=45°
Therefore, the measure of angle PQR is 45°.
