In the figure, the points M, R, N, S, P and Q are concyclic. Find
Angle PQR + Angle OPR + Angle NMS + Angle OSN, if 'O' is the centre of the circle.
Answers
∠PQR + ∠OPR + ∠NMS + ∠OSN = 180°.
To find : ∠PQR + ∠OPR + ∠NMS + ∠OSN = ?
Given :
M, R, N, S, P and Q are concyclic.
"O" is the center of the circle.
From the figure (given),
There are two triangles.
In ΔPQR and ΔMNS,
Radius = OP = OR = OS = OQ = ON
Hence, ΔPQR and ΔMNS are equilateral triangle.
Angles of equilateral triangle :
∠PQR = 60° and ∠MNS = 60°
In ΔROP,
Angles opposite to sides are equal.
∠OPR = ∠ORP
At center angles subtended twice the angles substended in the circumference.
(i.e.,) ∠ROP = 2 × ∠RQP
We know the value of ∠PQR = 60° = ∠RQP
So, ∠ROP = 2 × 60° = 120°
∠ROP = 120°
In triangle, sum of three angles of triangles is 180°.
In ΔROP,
∠ORP + ∠OPR + ∠ROP = 180°
∠OPR + ∠OPR + 120° = 180° [ ∵ ∠ORP = ∠OPR ; ∠ROP = 120° ]
2 × ∠OPR = 180° - 120°
2 × ∠OPR = 60°
∠OPR = = 30°
∠OPR = 30°
Similarly in ΔONS,
∠OSN = 30°
Hence,
∠PQR + ∠OPR + ∠NMS + ∠OSN = 60° + 30° + 60° + 30°
= 90° + 90°
= 180°
Therefore, ∠PQR + ∠OPR + ∠NMS + ∠OSN = 180°.
