- #2In parallelogram PQRS, ∠Q = (4x - 5)° and ∠S = (3x + 10)°. Calculate : ∠Q and ∠R.Ans : In parallelogram PQRS,
∠Q = (4x - 5)° and ∠S = (3x + 10)°
opposite ∠s of //gm are equal.
∠Q = ∠S
4x - 5 = 3x + 10
⇒ 4x - 3x = 10 + 5
⇒ x = 15
∠Q = 4x - 5 = 4×15 - 5 = 55°
Also ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
⇒ 55° + ∠R = 180°
∠R = 180° - 55° = 125°
∠Q = 55° ; ∠R = 125°
