The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of angle QRS given that PQ is parallel to ST, angle PQR is 110°, and angle RST is 130°. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - PQ || ST (PQ is parallel to ST) - ∠PQR = 110° - ∠RST = 130° 2. **Draw a Parallel Line:** - Draw a line MN parallel to ST. This gives us three parallel lines: PQ, ST, and MN. 3. **Use the Property of Parallel Lines:** - Since PQ is parallel to MN, the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal (line QR) must equal 180°. - Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ \angle PQR + \angle MRQ = 180° \] 4. **Substitute the Known Angle:** - Substitute the value of ∠PQR into the equation: \[ 110° + \angle MRQ = 180° \] 5. **Solve for ∠MRQ:** - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \angle MRQ = 180° - 110° = 70° \] 6. **Use the Other Parallel Line Property:** - Now, since ST is parallel to MN, we can apply the same property: \[ \angle RST + \angle NRS = 180° \] 7. **Substitute the Known Angle:** - Substitute the value of ∠RST into the equation: \[ 130° + \angle NRS = 180° \] 8. **Solve for ∠NRS:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \angle NRS = 180° - 130° = 50° \] 9. **Apply the Linear Pair Property:** - Now, consider the angles along line MN: \[ \angle QRM + \angle QRS + \angle SRN = 180° \] - Substitute the known angles: \[ 70° + \angle QRS + 50° = 180° \] 10. **Solve for ∠QRS:** - Combine the known angles: \[ 120° + \angle QRS = 180° \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \angle QRS = 180° - 120° = 60° \] ### Final Answer: \[ \angle QRS = 60° \]
