In the diagram, ST||PQ reflex angle SRQ = 198° and < RQP = 72°. Find the value of y.

Options

A)
18°
B)
54°
C)
87°
D)
92°

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

R +198 = 360(angles at a point)

R = 360 - 198 = 162°

C = 72(alternate angle), b + c = 180(angles or straight line)

b = 190 - c = 180 - 72 = 108

a + b = R = 162

a = R - b = 162 - 108

= 54, but a = y(alternate angles)

y = 54°

  • R +198 = 360(angles at a point)
    R = 360 - 198 = 162°
    C = 72(alternate angle), b + c = 180(angles or straight line)
    b = 190 - c = 180 - 72 = 108
    a + b = R = 162
    a = R - b = 162 - 108
    = 54, but a = y(alternate angles)
    y = 54°
