In a cyclic quadrilateral PQRS, angle QPR=40 and angle PSQ=70 , then find angle PQR ?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Then, ∠PQR+∠PSR=180∘ ...[Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]
⟹ ∠PQR+150o=180∘
⟹ ∠PQR=180∘−150∘=30∘.
In △PQR,
∠PRQ=90∘ (Angle of a semicircle)
Then, ∠RPQ+90∘+30∘=180∘ ...[Angle sum property]
⇒∠RPQ+120∘=180∘
⇒∠RPQ=60
- ∠PQR is equal to 70° .
Given :- In a cyclic quadrilateral PQRS,
- ∠QPR = 40°
- ∠PSQ = 70°
To Find :-
- ∠PQR = ?
Concept used :-
- A chord subtends equal angles at any part of the circumference of the circle .
- Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary .
Solution :-
from image we can see that,
→ ∠QPR = 40° { given }
now,
→ ∠QPR = ∠QSR { chord QR subtends equal angle at the circumference of the circle }
So,
→ ∠QSR = 40° ------- Equation (1)
also,
→ ∠PSQ = 70° { given }
adding Equation (1),
→ ∠PSQ + ∠QSR = 70° + 40°
→ ∠PSR = 110° ---------- Equation (2)
now,
→ ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180° { Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary }
→ 110° + ∠PQR = 180°
→ ∠PQR = 180° - 110°
→ ∠PQR = 70° (Ans.)
Hence, ∠PQR is equal to 70° .
