Practicing Success
In ΔABC, the perpendicular drawn from A, B and C meet the opposite sides at D, E and F respectively. AD, BE and CF intersect at point P. If ∠EPD=114° and the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at Q, then the measure of ∠AQB? |
96° 123° 150° 60° |
123° |
Step 1: ∠EPD = 114° In Quad. EPDC ∠E = ∠D = 90° ∠C = 180° - 114° = 66° Step 2: ∠AQB = 90° + \(\frac{∠ACB}{2}\) [Interior angle bisector theorem] = 90° + \(\frac{66}{2}\) = 123° ⇒∠AQB = 123° |
