Question:

If triangles ABC and PQR are both isosceles with AB=AC and PQ=PR, respectively. If also AB=PQ and BC=QR and angle B=50°, then what is the measure of angle R?

Options:

50°

80°

90°

60°

Correct Answer:

50°

Explanation:

We are given that :-  AB = AC , PQ = PR  & AB = PQ , BC = QR

In triangle ABC and triangle PQR

AB = PQ

BC = QR

AC = PR

So, by using ( side - side - side ) congruency equation.

ABC ≅  PQR 

So, ∠ABC = PQR

PQR  = 50º

And we are given that PQ =PR

{ In a triangle , angle made by same sides are same }

PQR = PRQ

PRQ = 50º
