Answer:

m∠NQP=74°

Explanation:

we know that

The measure of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In this problem

In the triangle NPQ

m∠N+m∠P+m∠Q=180°

we have

m∠N=(2x)°

m∠P=(34)°

m∠Q=(2x+2)°

substitute the values


(2x)\°+(34)\°+(2x+2)\°=180\°

solve for x


(4x+36)\°=180\°


4x=180-36


4x=144


x=36

Find the measure of angle NQP

we know that

m∠NQP=m∠Q=(2x+2)°

substitute the value of x

m∠NQP=(2(36)+2)=74°
