Math Problem Statement
In the figure, \( \overrightarrow{MQ} \), \( \overrightarrow{SP} \), and \( \overrightarrow{NR} \) intersect at point O. What is the value of \( x \)?
Solution
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of based on the provided information:
Step 1: Understand the geometry
The lines , , and intersect at point . The angles formed around point are:
- , the value we need to find.
Since the angles around a point sum up to , we can use this property.
Step 2: Equation for angle sum
The sum of all angles around point is:
From the diagram:
- ,
- ,
- .
The opposite angles because they are vertically opposite.
Step 3: Solve for
Substitute the known values:
Combine terms:
Solve for :
Final Answer:
The value of is (B) 60°.
