Find the mZRPQ.25°RQ105

Sagot :

Given the figure in the attached image;

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\measuredangle\text{PRQ}=25^{\circ} \\ m\measuredangle QTU=105^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The angle PQS and QTU are corresponding angles so they are congruent.

[tex]m\measuredangle PQS=m\measuredangle QTU=105^{\circ}[/tex]

Also, the angle PQS is an exterior angle to the angles PRQ and RPQ. So, the sum of angles PRQ and RPQ will give the angle PQS;

[tex]m\measuredangle PQS=m\measuredangle PRQ+m\measuredangle RPQ[/tex]

substituting the given values;

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\measuredangle PQS=m\measuredangle PRQ+m\measuredangle RPQ \\ 105^{\circ}=25^{\circ}+m\measuredangle RPQ \\ m\measuredangle RPQ=105^{\circ}-25^{\circ} \\ m\measuredangle RPQ=80^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle RPQ is;

[tex]m\measuredangle RPQ=80^{\circ}[/tex]
