Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If P, Q and S are collinear, then the three points lies on the same straight line.
If the Straight <P Q S is divided into 2 angles, <P Q R and <R Q S, by ray Q R, then;
<P Q R + <R Q S = 180
Given
<R Q S =x+1
<P Q R = 3x-5
Substitute the given expression into the formula and calculate x;
3x-5+x+1 = 180
collect like terms
3x+x - 5+1 = 180
4x-4 = 180
4x = 180+4
4x = 184
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 184/4
x = 46°
To get m∠PQR, we will substitute x = 46 into the expression for m∠PQR.
m∠PQR = 3x-5
m∠PQR = 3(46) - 5
m∠PQR = 138 - 5
m∠PQR = 133°
Hence the measure of angle m∠PQR is 133°
