Angle Q is supplementary to angle P (42°), so is 138°.

Given, in the figure PR and PS are two tangents. They meet at P. Here angle P given. ∠P = 42°.

If we take a straight line PQ, it will create two triangles.

We can see here angle R and angle S both are right angles.

As here two triangles, so sum of all the angles of the triangles is 180^o + 180^o = 360^o

Now if we subtract the two right angles we will get,

360^o-90^o-90^o = 360^o-180^o = 180^o

That means ∠P+∠Q = 180°

If we substitute the value of angle P we will get,

42^o+Q = 180^o

We can get angle Q by subtracting 42 to both sides. We will get,

42^o+Q-42^o = 180^o-42^o

Q = 180^o-42^o

Q = 138^o

So we have got angle Q, the measurement of ∠Q = 138°.

<em>The question doesn't ask anything in particular, I will show the set of inequalities defined in the problem.</em>

Answer:

<em>System of inequalities:</em>

6c+4t\leq 300

c>0\\t > 0\\c+t\geq 60

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities </u>

The express relations between expressions with a sign other than the equal sign. Common relationals are 'less than', 'greater than', 'not equal to', and many others.

The gardening club at school has 300 square feet of planting beds to plant cucumber and tomato. Each cucumber plant requires 6 square feet of growing space and each tomato plant requires 4 square feet of growing space. We know the total area cannot exceed 300 square feet, so

6c+4t\leq 300

Being c and t the number of cucumber and tomato plants respectively.

We also know the students want to plant some of each type of plant and have at least 60 plants. This lead us to more conditions

c>0\\t > 0\\c+t\geq 60

<em>Note: The set of inequalities shown is not enough to uniquely solve the problem. We need something to maximize or minimize to optimize c and t</em>
