Question
In a triangle PQR if ∠QPR = 80° and PQ = PR, then ∠R and ∠Q are
Solution
In a triangle PQR, if ∠QPR = 80° and PQ = PR, this means that the triangle is an isosceles triangle (two sides are equal).
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, ∠R = ∠Q.
We also know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.
So, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
We know that ∠P = 80°, so we can substitute this into the equation:
80° + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
Since ∠Q = ∠R, we can simplify this to:
80° + 2∠Q = 180°
Subtract 80° from both sides to isolate the term with ∠Q:
2∠Q = 100°
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for ∠Q:
∠Q = 50°
And since ∠Q = ∠R, ∠R is also 50°.
So, ∠R and ∠Q are both 50°.
