Question

In the given parallelogram YOUR, ∠RUO = 120° and OY is extended to point S such that ∠SRY = 50°. Find ∠YSR.

Sum

Solution

Given, ∠RUO = 120° and ∠SRY = 50°

∠RYO = ∠RUO = 120°   ...[∵ Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

Now, ∠SYR = 180° – ∠RYO   ...[Linear pair]

= 180° – 120°

= 60°

In ΔSRY,

By the angle sum property of a triangle,

∠SRY + ∠RYS + ∠YSR = 180°

⇒ 50° + 60° + ∠YSR = 180°

⇒ ∠YSR = 180° – (50° + 60°)

⇒ ∠YSR = 180° – 110°

∴ ∠YSR = 70°
