Answer:
m∠RPQ = 8°
Explanation:
m∠QRS = 4x - 15
m∠RPQ = x + 1
m∠PQR = x - 2
m∠QRS is exterior angle and m∠RPQ and m∠PQr are opposite interior angles to m∠QRS
m∠QRS = m∠RPQ + m∠PQR {Exterior angle property of triangle}
4x - 15 = x +1 + x - 2
4x - 15 = x + x + 1-2 {Combine like terms}
4x - 15 = 2x - 1 {Subtract 2x from both sides}
4x - 2x - 15 = - 1
2x - 15 = - 1 {Add 15 to both sides}
2x = -1 + 15
2x = 14 {Divide both sides by 2}
x = 14/2
x = 7
m∠RPQ = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8°
