Question

A

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠QPM=43°

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠NPQ=m∠MPN+m∠MPQ

we have

m∠NPQ=(9x-25)°

m∠MPN=(4x+12)°

m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°

substitute the given values and solve for x

(9x-25)°=(4x+12)°+(3x-5)°

(9x-25)°=(7x+7)°

9x-7x=25+7

2x=32

x=16

Find the measure of angle QPM

Remember that

m∠QPM=m∠MPQ

m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°

substitute the value of x

m∠MPQ=(3(16)-5)=43°

therefore

m∠QPM=43°
