Answer 1

In parallelogram PQRS, QP is extended to point T and ST is drawn. If ST = SP and m∠R = 130°, what is m∠PST?

Answer: 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

ST = SP and m∠R = 130°

If m∠R = 130°, then,

QPS = 130° ( Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

QPS + SPT = 180° (angle on a staght line)

130° + SPT = 180°

SPT = 180° - 130° = 50°

PTS = SPT = 50° (Base Angle of an isosceles triangle)

m∠PST = 180° - (50° + 50°) (sum of Angle in a triangle)

m∠PST = 80°
