Question

The given figure shows a circle with centre O such that chord RS is parallel to chord QT, angle PRT = 20° and angle POQ = 100°. Calculate: 

(iv) angle STR

Solution

Join PQ, RQ and ST.

Since RSTQ is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ `∠`QRS + `∠`QTS = 180° (sum of opposite angles)
⇒  `∠`QRS + `∠`QTS + `∠`STR = 180°
⇒ 110 + 40  + `∠`STR =  180°
 ⇒ `∠`STR =  30°
