The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of angle Q and angle R in the parallelogram PQRS, given that angle Q = (4x - 5)° and angle S = (3x + 10)°. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set up the equation using the property of parallelograms:** In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Therefore, we can set angle Q equal to angle S: \[ 4x - 5 = 3x + 10 \] **Hint:** Remember that in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. 2. **Rearrange the equation to isolate x:** Subtract 3x from both sides: \[ 4x - 3x - 5 = 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 5 = 10 \] **Hint:** Combine like terms to simplify the equation. 3. **Solve for x:** Add 5 to both sides: \[ x = 10 + 5 \] Thus, we find: \[ x = 15 \] **Hint:** Make sure to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain equality. 4. **Substitute x back into the expression for angle Q:** Now that we have the value of x, we can find angle Q: \[ \text{Angle Q} = 4x - 5 = 4(15) - 5 \] Calculate: \[ = 60 - 5 = 55° \] **Hint:** Substitute the value of x carefully into the angle expression. 5. **Find angle R using the property of adjacent angles:** In a parallelogram, adjacent angles sum up to 180°. Therefore: \[ \text{Angle Q} + \text{Angle R} = 180° \] Substitute the value of angle Q: \[ 55° + \text{Angle R} = 180° \] To find angle R, subtract 55° from 180°: \[ \text{Angle R} = 180° - 55° = 125° \] **Hint:** Remember that adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°. ### Final Answers: - Angle Q = 55° - Angle R = 125°
