<u>Given</u>:
The exterior angle P is 74°
The measure of ∠PRQ is 51°
We need to determine the measure of ∠PQR
<u>Measure of ∠QPR:</u>
From the figure, it is obvious that P is the intersection of the two lines.
The angle 74° and ∠QPR are vertically opposite angles.
Since, vertically opposite angles are always equal, then the measure of ∠QPR is 74°
Thus, the measure of ∠QPR is 74°
<u>Measure of ∠PQR:</u>
The measure of ∠PQR can be determined using the triangle sum property.
Thus, we have;
![\angle PQR+\angle QPR+\angle PRQ=180^{\circ}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cangle%20PQR%2B%5Cangle%20QPR%2B%5Cangle%20PRQ%3D180%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D)
Substituting the values, we get;
![\angle PQR+74^{\circ}+51^{\circ}=180^{\circ}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cangle%20PQR%2B74%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%2B51%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%3D180%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D)
![\angle PQR+125^{\circ}=180^{\circ}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cangle%20PQR%2B125%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%3D180%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D)
![\angle PQR=55^{\circ}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cangle%20PQR%3D55%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D)
Thus, the measure of ∠PQR is 55°
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
