Question Number 6806 by Tawakalitu. last updated on 27/Jul/16

Answered by Yozzii last updated on 28/Jul/16

We have that ∠QSR=40°. Let ω be   circle PQRS. Points S and P lie on  ω on the same side of line QR.   ⇒∠QSR=∠QPR ∴ ∠QPR=40°.  TU is a straight line, so   ∠TPS+∠SPR+∠QPR=180°  ⇒∠SPR=180°−40°−74°=66°  Angles ∠SPR and ∠SQR are in the  same segment of ω⇒ ∠SQR=∠SPR=66°.  We know that ∠RQU=68°  Now, ∠PQS+∠SQR+∠RQU=180°  ⇒∠PQS=180°−66°−68°=46°.  Since ∠PQS and ∠PRS lie in the major  segement PQRS, ∠PRS=∠PQS=46°.
