Practicing Success
In ΔPQR, S and T are mid-points of PQ and PR, respectively. If ∠QPR = 75° and ∠PRQ = 40°, then ∠TSQ is : |
135° 120° 105° 115° |
115° |
We have, ∠QPR = 75° ∠PRQ = 40° We know that, Sum of all three angles of a triangle = 180°. In ΔPQR = ∠QPR + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180° = 75° + ∠PQR + 40° = 180° = ∠PQR = 180° - 115° = ∠PQR = 65° Also, ΔPQR ~ ΔPST ∠PST = ∠PQR = 65° Now, ∠PST + ∠TSQ = 180° = 65° + ∠TSQ = 180° = ∠TSQ = 180° - 65° ∠TSQ = 115° |
