Given:
Δ PQR and ΔTQR
∠PQR = 2x
∠PRS= 2y
∠QTY= 21°
To find:
∠QPR
Solution:
In Δ TQR,
∠TRS is an exterior angle = y
Since the exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of interior opposite angles,
⇒ y = x + 21°
or 1/2 ∠PRS = 1/2 ∠PQR+21° - (1)
Now in ΔPQR,
∠PRS is the exterior angle
Again using the exterior angle theorem we get:
∠PRS = ∠PQR + ∠QPR - (2)
Substituting value of ∠PRS from (2) in (1)
1/2 (∠QPR + ∠PQR) = 1/2 ∠PQR + ∠QTR
Opening the brackets and solving, we get:
1/2 ∠PQR + 1/2 ∠QPR - 1/2 ∠PQR = 21°
or 1/2 ∠QPR = 21°
or ∠QPR = 42°
Hence, angle QPR IS 42°.
