Question
In the given figure, ∆PQR is right-angled at P. U and T are the points on line QRF. If OP || ST and US || RP, find ∠S.
Solution
QP || ST and QT is a transversal.
∴ ∠PQT = ∠STO ......[Alternate interior angles]
US || PR and UR is a transversal.
∴ ∠PRU = ∠SUR ......[Alternate interior angles]
Two angles of ∆PQR equal to two angles of ∆STU.
Therefore, the third angle also will be equal.
∴ ∠QPR = ∠TSU
Now, given that ∠P = 90°
∴ ∠S = 90°.
