The correct Answer is:
To find the angle \( \angle QRS \) in the cyclic quadrilateral \( PQRS \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given angles We are given: - \( \angle SQR = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle QPR = 20^\circ \) ### Step 2: Use the property of cyclic quadrilaterals In cyclic quadrilaterals, the angles subtended by the same arc are equal. Therefore, we can say: \[ \angle QPR = \angle QSR \] This means: \[ \angle QSR = 20^\circ \] ### Step 3: Apply the triangle angle sum property Now, we will consider triangle \( QSR \). The sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can write: \[ \angle QSR + \angle SQR + \angle QRS = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ 20^\circ + 60^\circ + \angle QRS = 180^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \angle QRS \) Now, we can solve for \( \angle QRS \): \[ \angle QRS = 180^\circ - (20^\circ + 60^\circ) \] \[ \angle QRS = 180^\circ - 80^\circ \] \[ \angle QRS = 100^\circ \] ### Conclusion Thus, the measure of \( \angle QRS \) is \( 100^\circ \). ---
