The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the two unknown angles of the triangle given that one of the interior opposite angles is \(60^\circ\) and the exterior angle is \(105^\circ\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Exterior Angle**: - We know that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. - Given the exterior angle \( \angle QPR = 105^\circ \) and one of the opposite interior angles \( \angle RPS = 60^\circ \). **Hint**: Remember that the exterior angle is formed by extending one side of the triangle. 2. **Using the Exterior Angle Property**: - According to the property of triangles, we can write: \[ \angle QPR = \angle RPS + \angle QRP \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 105^\circ = 60^\circ + \angle QRP \] **Hint**: This property states that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. 3. **Finding the Angle \( \angle QRP \)**: - Rearranging the equation to find \( \angle QRP \): \[ \angle QRP = 105^\circ - 60^\circ \] \[ \angle QRP = 45^\circ \] **Hint**: Subtract the known interior angle from the exterior angle to find the other interior angle. 4. **Finding the Third Angle \( \angle PQR \)**: - Now we know two angles of the triangle: \( \angle RPS = 60^\circ \) and \( \angle QRP = 45^\circ \). - We can use the angle sum property of triangles which states that the sum of all interior angles is \(180^\circ\): \[ \angle PQR + \angle RPS + \angle QRP = 180^\circ \] - Substituting the known values: \[ \angle PQR + 60^\circ + 45^\circ = 180^\circ \] - Simplifying this: \[ \angle PQR + 105^\circ = 180^\circ \] - Solving for \( \angle PQR \): \[ \angle PQR = 180^\circ - 105^\circ \] \[ \angle PQR = 75^\circ \] **Hint**: Use the total sum of angles in a triangle to find the missing angle. 5. **Final Result**: - The two angles we found are: - \( \angle QRP = 45^\circ \) - \( \angle PQR = 75^\circ \) ### Summary of Angles: - The angles of the triangle are: - \( \angle RPS = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle QRP = 45^\circ \) - \( \angle PQR = 75^\circ \)
