In the diagram, STUV is a straight line. < TSY = < UXY = 40o and < VUW = 110o. Calculate < TYW

A.

150o

B.

140o

C.

130o

D.

120o

Correct answer is A

< TUW = 110o = 180o (< s on a straight line)

< TUW = 180o - 110o = 70o

In \(\bigtriangleup\) XTU, < XUT + < TXU = 180o

i.e. < YTS + 70o = 180

< XTU = 180 - 110o = 70o

Also < YTS + < XTU = 180 (< s on a straight line)

i.e. < YTS + < XTU - 180(< s on straight line)

i.e. < YTS + 70o = 180

< YTS = 180 - 70 = 110o

in \(\bigtriangleup\) SYT + < YST + < YTS = 180o(Sum of interior < s)

SYT + 40 + 110 = 180

< SYT = 180 - 150 = 30

< SYT = < XYW (vertically opposite < s)

Also < SYX = < TYW (vertically opposite < s)

but < SYT + < XYW + < SYX + < TYW = 360

i.e. 30 + 30 + < SYX + TYW = 360

but < SYX = < TYW

60 + 2(< TYW) = 360

2(< TYW) = 360o - 60

2(< TYW) = 300o

TYW = \(\frac{300}{2}\) = 150o
< SYT

In the diagram, /MN/, /OP/, /QOP/ = 125o. What is the size of < MQR?

A.

11o

B.

120o

C.

130o

D.

160o

Correct answer is B

< NOP = 180 - 125 = 55o(< s on a straight line)

But < NOP = < ONM (alternate < s)

< ONM = 55o

< M + < N + < MQN = 180o (sum of interior < s of a \(\bigtriangleup\)) i.e

65o + 55o + < MQN = 180

< MQN = 180 - 12o = 60

< MQR + < MQN = 180 (< s on straight line)

< MQR + 60 = 180

< MQR + 60 = 180

< MQR = 180 - 60

= 120o
