What is the measure of PSQ in degrees? Angle PSR measures 99°.
Solution:
Given, angle PSR = 99°
From the figure,
Angle PSQ = (3x + 18)°
Angle QSR = (9x - 27)°
We have to find the value of angle PSQ.
We know, ∠PSR = ∠PSQ + ∠QSR
99° = (3x + 18)° + (9x - 27)°
99° = 3x + 9x + 18° - 27°
99° = 12x - 9°
12x = 99° + 9°
12x = 108°
x = 108/12
x = 9°
Now, angle PSQ = 3(9°) + 18°
= 27° + 18°
= 45°
Therefore, the measure of PSQ in degrees is 45°.
What is the measure of PSQ in degrees? Angle PSR measures 99°.
Summary:
Angle PSR measures 99°, then the measure of angle PSQ in degrees is 45°.
