In APQR, PR is extended through point R to point S,
m_QRS = (4x – 15)°, m_RPQ = (x + 1), and
mZPQR = (x - 2)°. Find mZRPQ.


Sagot :

Answer:

m∠RPQ = 8°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠QRS = 4x - 15

m∠RPQ = x + 1

m∠PQR = x - 2

m∠QRS is exterior angle and m∠RPQ and m∠PQr are opposite interior angles to m∠QRS

m∠QRS = m∠RPQ + m∠PQR      {Exterior angle property of triangle}

4x - 15 = x +1 + x - 2

4x - 15 = x + x + 1-2          {Combine like terms}

4x - 15 = 2x - 1        {Subtract 2x from both sides}

4x - 2x - 15 = - 1

2x - 15 = - 1                  {Add 15 to both sides}

2x = -1 + 15

2x = 14          {Divide both sides by 2}

x = 14/2

x = 7

m∠RPQ = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8°
