In Fig. 8.47, lines PQ and RS intersect each other at point O. If ∠POR : ∠ROQ = 5 : 7, find all the angles.
Given,
∠POR and ∠ROP is linear pair
∠POR + ∠ROP = 180o
Given that,
∠POR = ∠ROP = 5: 1
Therefore,
∠POR = * 180o = 75o
Similarly,
∠ROQ = 105o
Now,
∠POS = ∠ROQ = 105o(Vertically opposite angles)
Therefore,
∠SOQ = ∠POR = 75o(Vertically opposite angles)
