Question

Sketch a kite PQRS PQ = PS, QR = RS, ∠PQR = 118° and ∠QRS = 72°, Calculate and label ∠RSQ and ∠QPS.
Kindly help me.
Its urgent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given : ∠QPS=90 ∠ SQR=90

PQ=12cm , PS=9cm , QR=8cm and SR=17cm

By Pythagoras theorem in ΔSPQ we get :

⇒SP

=225

⇒SQ=

225

⇒SQ=15cm

Area of the parallelogram = Area of triangle SPQ + area of triangle SQR.

⇒ Area of Triangle SPQ =

×8×15

⇒ Area of triangle SPQ = 60cm

2

Total area = area of triangle SPQ + area of trinagle SQR

⇒54+60=114cm

2

Area of quadrilateral PQRS is 114cm
