Question

Given: m∠V=103°, m∠VRT=71°, RS ∥ VU Find: m∠TRS, m∠U

Answer 1

m∠U = 103° and m∠TRS = 6°

Explanation:

In the given circle O,

Since, RS║VU, and VR is a transverse,

Therefor, m∠V + m∠R = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

m∠R + 103° = 180° [m∠R = 103° given]

m∠R = 180° - 103°

m∠R = 77°

Since m∠R = m∠VRT + m∠TRS

77° = 71° + m∠TRS

m∠TRS = 77° - 71° = 6°

Quadrilateral RTUV is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Therefore, m∠U + m∠R = 180°

m∠U + 77° = 180°

m∠U = 180° - 77° = 103°
