Q8 of 16 Page 88

In the figure beside PQ||RS, BPQ=40°, BPR=155° and CRS=70°; let’s write the measurement of all the angles of APR



Given that PQ||RS and BPQ=40° and BPR=155°


Also, CRS=70°


Draw a line through A such that PQ||AY||RS


Since AB is a straight line ,


APB=180° (straight angle)


BPR+APR=180°


155° +APR=180°


APR=180°-155°


APR=25°…………..(1)


Since PQ||AY


So, PAY=BPQ=40° (corresponding angles)


Similarly, AY||RS


So, RAY=CRS=70° (corresponding angles)


Now, PAR=PAY+RAY=40°+70°=110°


Now, in ∆APR,


PAR+APR+ARS=180°


110°+25° +ARS=180°


135° +ARS=180°


ARS=180°-135°


ARS=45°


Hence, ARS=45°, PAR=110° and APR=25°
