Math Problem Statement

find angle PRS

Solution

To find the angle PRS\angle PRS, we can use the property of the cyclic quadrilateral and the known angles.

Given Information:

  • SRP=74\angle SRP = 74^\circ
  • SPQ=58\angle SPQ = 58^\circ
  • PQN=27\angle PQN = 27^\circ

Step 1: Use the Cyclic Quadrilateral Property

In any cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles sum to 180180^\circ.

Let's use this property to find PRS\angle PRS.

Since PQRSPQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles PRS\angle PRS and PSQ\angle PSQ must satisfy: PRS+PSQ=180\angle PRS + \angle PSQ = 180^\circ

Step 2: Find PSQ\angle PSQ

Earlier, we calculated PSQ=106\angle PSQ = 106^\circ.

Step 3: Calculate PRS\angle PRS

Now, using the cyclic quadrilateral property: PRS+106=180\angle PRS + 106^\circ = 180^\circ PRS=180106=74\angle PRS = 180^\circ - 106^\circ = 74^\circ

Thus, the angle PRS\angle PRS is 7474^\circ.

Tip: When dealing with cyclic quadrilaterals, always check the sum of opposite angles, as they provide a straightforward way to find unknown angles.
