(2) m(arc PQR)
(3) m(arc QR)
(4) measure of ∠PRQ

solution

(1) ▢PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.    ...[Given]

∴ ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180°    ...[Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]

∴ 110° + ∠PQR = 180°

∴ ∠PQR = 180° − 110°

∴ m∠PQR = 70°

(2) ∠PSR = `1/2` m(arc PQR)     .....[Inscribed angle theorem]

∴ 110° = `1/2` m(arc PQR)

∴ m(arc PQR) = 220°

(3) In ∆PQR,

Side PQ ≅ side RQ     ...[Given]

∴ ∠PRQ ≅ ∠QPR     ...[Isosceles triangle theorem]

Let ∠PRQ = ∠QPR = x

Now, ∠PQR + ∠QPR + ∠PRQ = 180°    ...[Sum of the measures of angles of a triangle is 180°]

∴ ∠PQR + x + x = 180°

∴ 70° + 2x = 180°

∴ 2x = 180° − 70°

∴ 2x = 110°

∴ x = `(110°)/2`

∴ x = 55°

∴ ∠PRQ = ∠QPR = 55°    ......(i)

But, ∠QPR = `1/2` m(arc QR)   .....[Inscribed angle theorem]

∴ 55° = `1/2` m(arc QR)

∴ m(arc QR) = 110°

(4) In ∆PQR,

∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR = 180°  ...[Sum of the measures of angles of a triangle is 180°]

70° + ∠PRQ +  55° = 180°

∠PRQ = 180° - 125°

∠PRQ = 55°.

Explanation:- 

(1) Given that PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.

  • From the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary property, we have angle PSR + angle PQR = 180 degrees.
  • We know that angle PSR is 110 degrees, so angle PQR = 180 – 110 = 70 degrees.

(2) In the quadrilateral PQRS,

  • The angle PSR is equal to half the measure of the arc PQR.
  • We know that angle PSR is 110 degrees, so the measure of arc PQR is 2 * 110 = 220 degrees.

(3) In triangle PQR,

  • PQ is congruent to RQ, which means that the two sides have the same length.
  • From the isosceles triangle theorem, we have angle PRQ = angle QPR.
  • Let the measure of angle PRQ (or QPR) be x.
  • From the sum of the measures of angles of a triangle property, we have angle PQR + angle QPR + angle PRQ = 180 degrees.
  • We know that angle PQR is 70 degrees, so 70 + 2x = 180.
  • Solving for x, we get x = 55 degrees.
  • From the inscribed angle theorem, we know that angle QPR is equal to half the measure of arc QR.
  • We know that angle QPR is 55 degrees, so the measure of arc QR is 2 * 55 = 110 degrees.

(4) In triangle PQR,

  • Using the sum of the measures of angles of a triangle property, we have angle PQR + angle PRQ + angle QPR = 180 degrees.
  • We know that angle PQR is 70 degrees and angle QPR is 55 degrees, so 70 + angle PRQ + 55 = 180.
  • Solving for angle PRQ, we get angle PRQ = 55 degrees.
