  1. The measures of∠2,∠7,∠5 and∠6 are40,100,40 and40 respectively and PQ¯must be parallel to SR¯.
  2. The measures of∠2,∠7,∠5 and∠6 arek,180-2k,k andk respectively andPQ¯ must be parallel to SR¯.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite to those sides are congruent.

ConsiderΔPOQ in whichPO¯≅QO¯ then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠1≅∠2, that is, m∠2=m∠1=40.

02

Part a. Step 2. Description of step.

ConsiderΔPOQ then by an angle sum theorem,

m∠1+m∠2+m∠7=18040+40+m∠7=18080+m∠7=180m∠7=100

03

Part a. Step 3. Description of step.

From the given figure, it can be observed that, ∠7and ∠Oare vertically opposite angles therefore they are equal in measure, that is,

m∠O=m∠7=100

04

Part a. Step 4. Description of step.

ConsiderΔSOR in whichRO¯≅SO¯ then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠5≅∠6, that is, m∠5=m∠6.

05

Part a. Step 5. Description of step.

ConsiderΔSOR then by an angle sum theorem,

m∠5+m∠6+m∠O=180m∠5+m∠5+m∠7=1802m∠5+100=1802m∠5=80m∠5=40

Therefore, m∠6=m∠5=40.

06

Part a. Step 6. Description of step.

As m∠1=m∠6implies that ∠1≅∠6and are alternate interior angles where PR¯is the transversal to the line segments PQ¯and SR¯, then by the Converse of Alternate Interior Angle Theorem, PQ¯∥SR¯.

Therefore, the measures of∠2,∠7,∠5 and∠6 are40,100,40 and40 respectively and PQ¯must be parallel to SR¯.

07

Part b. Step 1. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite to those sides are congruent.

ConsiderΔPOQ in whichPO¯≅QO¯ then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠1≅∠2, that is, m∠2=m∠1=k.

08

Part b. Step 2. Description of step.

ConsiderΔPOQ then by an angle sum theorem,

m∠1+m∠2+m∠7=180k+k+m∠7=1802k+m∠7=180m∠7=180−2k

09

Part b. Step 3. Description of step.

From the given figure, it can be observed that, ∠7and ∠Oare vertically opposite angles therefore they are equal in measure, that is,

m∠O=m∠7=180−2k

10

Part b. Step 4. Description of step.

ConsiderΔSOR in whichRO¯≅SO¯ then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠5≅∠6, that is, m∠5=m∠6.

11

Part b. Step 5. Description of step.

Consider ΔSORthen by an angle sum theorem,

m∠5+m∠6+m∠O=180m∠5+m∠5+m∠7=1802m∠5+180−2k=1802m∠5=2km∠5=k

Therefore, m∠6=m∠5=k.

12

Part b. Step 6. Description of step.

As m∠1=m∠6implies that ∠1≅∠6and are alternate interior angles where PR¯is the transversal to the line segments PQ¯and SR¯, then by the Converse of Alternate Interior Angle Theorem, PQ¯∥SR¯.

Therefore, the measures of∠2,∠7,∠5 and∠6 arek,180−2k,k andk respectively and PQ¯must be parallel to SR¯.
