Arms of the ∆PQR QP and RP are produced to S and T and ∠PQT
= 110°, ∠SPR = 135°.
∠PRQ = ?
Straight line PR is on straight line SQ.
∠SPR and ∠RPQ are Adjacent angles.
∴ ∠SPR + ∠RPQ = 180°
135 + ∠RPQ = 180°
∴ ∠RPQ =180 – 135
∠RPQ = 45°
(i) Similarly QP straight line is on straight line TR.
∠TQP and ∠PQR are Adjacent angles.
∴ ∠RQP + ∠PQR = 180°
110 + ∠PQR = 180°
∠PQR = 180 – 110
∴ ∠PQR = 70°
Now, in ∆PQR,
∠QPR + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180°
45 + 70 + ∠PRQ = 180°
115 + ∠PRQ = 180°
∠PRQ = 180 – 115
∴ ∠PRQ = 65°.
