In ∆PRQ, side QR is extended to S. If ∠PRS = 150° and RP = RQ, find all the angles of ∆PRQ.
Answers
Answer:
In the given triangle
applying : angle opposite to equal side are equal
so
angle RPQ= angle RQP= X. _______1
NOW,
since SRQ is a straight line so ,
angle SRP+ angle PRQ = 180
150 + angle PRQ=180
angle PRQ=30
now applying angle sum property of triangle
angle RPQ + angle RQP +angle PRQ= 180
x+ x+ 30 =180 (from 1)
2x+30=180
2x=150
x=75
so all the angles of ️ are
angle RPQ=75
angle RQP=75
angle PRQ=30

- All angles of ∆PRQ are 35°, 75° and 75°.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find:-
- Measure of all angles of triangle.
Solution:-
If PR = QR
Then their opposite angles are also equal because if two sides of triangle are equal then their opposite angles are equal.
So,
∠RPQ = x ---------(i)
We know,
Sum of all angles forms on straight line is equal to 180°. We also say this statement be linear pair.
So,
∠PRQ + ∠PRS = 180°
∠PRQ + 150° = 180°
∠PRQ = 180° - 150°
∠PRQ = 30°
We also know that,
Sum of all interior angles of triangle is 180°
So,
∠PRQ + ∠RPQ + x = 180°
- By equation (i) ∠RPQ = x
30° + x + x = 180°
30° + 2x = 180°
2x = 180° - 30°
2x = 150°
x = 150°/2
x = 75°
∠PRQ, ∠RPQ and ∠PQR are angles of triangle:
∠PRQ = 30°
∠RPQ = ∠PQR = 75°
Therefore,
All angles of ∆PQR are 35°, 75° and 75°.
