Q8 of 12 Page 84

It is given that XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. A ray YQ bisects ZYP. Draw a figure from the given information. Find XYQ and reflex QYP.

Let us draw a figure from the given,



Given that, a ray YQ bisects ZYP


So, QYP = ZYQ


Here, PX is a straight line, so the sum of the angles is equal to 180°


XYZ + ZYQ + QYP = 180°


Given that, XYZ = 64° and QYP = ZYQ


64° + 2QYP = 180°


2QYP = 180°-64° = 116°


QYP = = 58°


Also, QYP = ZYQ = 58°


Using the angle of reflection,


QYP = 360°-58° = 302°


XYQ = XYZ + ZYQ


⇒∠XYQ = 64° + 58° = 122°


Reflex QYP = 302° and XYQ = 122°
