Given Parameters :
- ∠RPQ = 30°
- RS ∥ PQ
Unknown :
- ∠RQS = ?
Answer:
→ RS ∥ PQ (Given)
→ PR = PQ (By theorem 10.2)
→ ∠R = ∠Q (Opposite angles to equal sides are also equal)
Now,In ∆PQR
➝ ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180° (Angle sum property)
➝ 30 + x + x = 180°
➝ 30 + 2x = 180
➝ 2x = 180 - 30
➝ 2x = 150
Dividing both sides by 2 we get :
➝ x = 75°
➝ SR ∥ PQ
➝ 75° = ∠SRQ = ∠PQR [Alternate angle]
➝ ∠QSR = ∠QRP = 75 [Alternate segment theorem]
Now, In ∆SQR
᠉ ∠RQS + 75 + 75 = 180
᠉ ∠RQS + 150 = 180
᠉ ∠RQS = 180 - 150
᠉ ∠RQS = 30°
