Question

26. In the given figure, OP || RS. ZPQR = 60° and QRS = 130°. Then what is the measure of ZOPQ? S P 60% R 130⁰​

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 60.

Explanation:

Using the fact that OP || RS, we know that∠RWV = 180° − 130° 1. ∠RWV = 50° We know that,∠PWQ = ∠RWV = 50° (Since, opposite angles of intersecting lines are equal) Also, for line OP∠OQP + θ = 180° θ = 180° − ∠OPQ = 180° − 110° 2. θ = 70°

Answer 2

The measure of ∠OPQ is 110°.

Explanation:

Draw a line parallel to OP from point Q. Label a point on the line T. (See attached diagram).

Angles SRQ and TQR are alternate interior angles, and so according to the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, they are congruent.

⇒ m∠TQR = m∠SRQ = 130°

Given m∠PQR = 60° and m∠TQR = 130° then:

⇒ m∠TQP + m∠PQR = m∠TQR

⇒ m∠TQP + 60° = 130°

⇒ m∠TQP = 70°

Angles OPQ and TQP are same-side interior angles, and so according to the Same-side Interior Angles Theorem, they are supplementary (sum to 180°).

⇒ m∠OPQ + m∠TQP = 180°

⇒ m∠OPQ + 70° = 180°

⇒ m∠OPQ = 110°

Therefore, the measure of ∠OPQ is 110°.
