Given:
PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
Since PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines, therefore, PQRS isa cyclic quadrilateral.
We know that, sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees.
Now, SRT is a straight line.
(Linear pair)
...(i)
According to the Exterior angle theorem, in a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal the sum of the opposite interior angles.
Using exterior angle theorem in triangle QRT, we get
Therefore, the value of x is 103 degrees.
