Question

Given: m∠V=103°, m∠VRT=71°, RS ∥ VU Find: m∠TRS, m∠U

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠TRS = 6°

m∠U = 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure,

O is the center

RS ∥ VU

m∠V = 103° &

m∠VRT = 71°

So,

m∠V +  m∠R = 180°                (∵ sum of co-interior angles)

⇒  m∠R = 180° - 103°              (m∠V = 103° is given)

∵ m∠R = 77°    ...(i)

Now,

m∠R =  m∠TRS +  m∠VRT

by putting the values given

⇒  m∠TRS = 77° - 71°

∵ m∠TRS = 6°  

As we know that,

VURT is a cyclic quadrilateral. So,

m∠U +  m∠R = 180°

⇒ m∠U +  77° = 180°            (from equation (i)

∵ m∠U = 180° - 77° = 103°
