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? |
50° 80° 90° 60° |
50° |
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
