Answer» Interior angles on the same side of thetransversal: The pair of interior angles on the same side ofthe transversal are called consecutive interior angles or allied angles or cointerior angles. If a transversal intersects two Parallel Linesthen each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary. If a transversal intersects two lines such thata pair of alternate interior angles is equal then the two lines are parallel. Given, PQ || ST, ∠PQR = 110° and ∠RST = 130° Construction, A line XY parallel to PQ and ST is drawn. ∠PQR+∠QRX= 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)⇒110° + ∠QRX= 180°⇒∠QRX= 70° Also,∠RST+ ∠SRY= 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)⇒130° + ∠SRY= 180°⇒∠SRY= 50° Now,∠QRX+∠SRY+∠QRS = 180°⇒70°+ 50°+ ∠QRS= 180°⇒∠QRS= 60° Like my answer if you find it useful! |
