In ∆PQR, perpendicular bisectors of each side meet at point C while perpendiculars from each vertex meet at point O. If the sum of ∠QOR and ∠QCR is 230° and ∠PQC is 30°, then what is the measure of ∠R?
In ∆PQR, perpendicular bisectors of each side meet at point C while perpendiculars from each vertex meet at point O. If the sum of ∠QOR and ∠QCR is 230° and ∠PQC is 30°, then what is the measure of ∠R? Correct Answer 60°
Given:
The sum of ∠QOR and ∠QCR is 230° and ∠PQC is 30°
Calculation:
∠QOR = 180° – ∠P
∠QCR = 2∠P
Now,
∠QOR + ∠QCR = 180° – ∠P + 2∠P
⇒ 230° = 180° + ∠P
⇒ ∠P = 50°
In ∆QCR-
∠CQR = ∠CRQ
∵ ∠QCR = 2∠P = 100°
∠CQR + ∠CRQ + ∠QCR = 180°
⇒ 2∠CQR = 180° – 100° = 80°
∠CQR = 40°
∠Q = ∠PQC + ∠CQR = 30° + 40° = 70°
∵ ∠R = 180° – ∠P – ∠Q
⇒ ∠R = 180° – 50° – 70°
∴ ∠R = 60°
