The correct Answer is:
To find the angles of triangle PQR formed by the angle bisectors of triangle ABC inscribed in a circle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have triangle ABC inscribed in a circle. The angle bisectors of angles A, B, and C intersect the circumference of the circle at points P, Q, and R respectively. ### Step 2: Identify the Angles at Points P, Q, and R - The angle at point P (∠PQR) corresponds to the angle at vertex A (∠BAC) of triangle ABC. - The angle at point Q (∠QRP) corresponds to the angle at vertex B (∠ABC) of triangle ABC. - The angle at point R (∠RPQ) corresponds to the angle at vertex C (∠ACB) of triangle ABC. ### Step 3: Use the Angle Bisector Theorem According to the property of angle bisectors: - ∠BQP = ∠BAP = 1/2 ∠A - ∠BQR = ∠BCR = 1/2 ∠C - ∠PQR = ∠PAB + ∠BQR = (1/2 ∠A) + (1/2 ∠C) ### Step 4: Calculate ∠PQR Using the angles from triangle ABC: - ∠PQR = (1/2 ∠A) + (1/2 ∠C) = 1/2 (∠A + ∠C) Since the sum of angles in triangle ABC is 180 degrees: - ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 degrees - Thus, ∠A + ∠C = 180 degrees - ∠B Substituting this into our equation for ∠PQR: - ∠PQR = 1/2 (180 degrees - ∠B) = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠B) ### Step 5: Calculate Other Angles Using similar reasoning: - ∠QRP = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠C) - ∠RPQ = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠A) ### Conclusion Thus, the angles of triangle PQR are: - ∠PQR = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠B) - ∠QRP = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠C) - ∠RPQ = 90 degrees - (1/2 ∠A) ### Final Answer The angles of triangle PQR are: - P = 90 - (1/2 ∠A) - Q = 90 - (1/2 ∠B) - R = 90 - (1/2 ∠C)
