PQR is a triangle. The bisectors of the internal angle $\angle Q$ and external angle $\angle R$ intersect at M. If $\angle QMR=40°$, then $\angle P$ is: |
75° 60° 65° 80° |
80° |
The exterior angle of a given triangle equals the sum of the opposite interior angles of that triangle. Here Exterior angle is R and interior angle is P and Q Thus, Exterior Angle R = interior angle (P+Q) R = P+Q .....(1) In new formed triangle MQR, by two given bisectors, interior angles are M and half of Q and exterior angle is half of R M + 0.5Q = 0.5R 40 + 0.5Q = 0.5(P+Q) 40 + 0.5Q = 0.5P + 0.5Q 0.5P = 40 P = 80 The correct answer is Option (4) → 80° |
