In the figure, lines AB, CD and EF intersect at P. If ∠CPE = 56°, ∠APD=60° and PB = PF, then what is the measure of ∠PBF? |
56° 58° 60° 62° |
58° |
We know that the sum of the angles of a straight line = 180o ∠APD = ∠CPB ( vertically opposite angles) ∠CPB = 60° ∠CPB + ∠EPC + ∠BPF = 180° 60° + 56° + ∠BPF = 180° ∠BPF = 180° - 60° - 56° = 64° Now, in ΔPBF ∠PBF + ∠PFB + ∠BPF = 180o and ∠PBF = ∠PFB 2∠PBF + 64° = 180° ∠PBF = 58o |
