Question
If AB || CD, APQ = 50º and PRD =127º. Then the value of x and y is(A) x = 55º and y = 72º(B) x = 50° and y = 77º(C) x = 60º and y = 67º(D) x = 30º and y = 54
Solution
To find the values of x and y, we need to use the properties of parallel lines and angles.
Given that AB || CD, we can conclude that the alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore, ∠APQ = ∠PRD.
We are given that ∠APQ = 50º and ∠PRD = 127º.
Since ∠APQ = ∠PRD, we can set up the equation:
50º = 127º - x
Simplifying the equation, we have:
x = 127º - 50º x = 77º
So, the value of x is 77º.
To find the value of y, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180º.
In triangle PRD, we have:
∠PRD + ∠PDR + ∠RDP = 180º
Substituting the given values, we have:
127º + y + 180º - 127º - 50º = 180º
Simplifying the equation, we have:
y + 3º = 180º
y = 180º - 3º y = 177º
So, the value of y is 177º.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) x = 50° and y = 77º.
