Q147 of 160 Page 144

In parallelogram PQRS. O is the mid-point of SQ. Find S, R. PQ, Qr and diagonal PR.

Given:

RQY = 60°


RQY and RQP form a linear pair


RQP = 180° - RQY = 120°


RQP =120°


Now, in a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal,


RQP = S = 120°


Similarly, P = R


Now, from the angle sum property of a quadrilateral,


P + R + Q + S = 360°


P + R + 120° + 120° = 360°


2P = 120°


P = 60°


R = 60°


Now,


Opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal.


SR = PQ = 15 cm


Also, PS = QR = 11 cm


And, the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.


Hence, PR = 2×PQ = 2×6 = 12 cm.
