Q4 of 33 Page 95

By calculating, I write the values of X and Y in the following rectangle PQRS:

Given PQRS is a rectangle


Each angle of a rectangle is 90°


Let O be the intersecting point of PR and QS


(i) SQR = 25°(given)


⇒∠PQS = 90° - 25° = 65°


And PSQ = 25° = SQR and QSR = PQS = 65°(PS QR and QS is transversal) and


Since the diagonals of rectangle are equal and bisects each other


In ΔQOR


OQ = OR


OQR = QRO = 25° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


QOR = 40° (angle sum property of a triangle)


SRQ = 90° (Each angle of a rectangle is 90°)


And QRP = 25° so PRS = x = 90° - 25° = 65°


In Δ PSO


PSQ = 25° and SPR = 25°


⇒∠POS = y = 90° - 50° = 40° (angle sum property of a triangle)


(ii) In rectangle PQRS


QOR = POS = 100° (vertically opposite angles)


In ΔPOS


PO = OS (diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisects each other)


OPS = OSP = y


y = 180° - 100° =


x = 50°( each angle of rectangle is 90°)
