Math Problem Statement

The m, angle, P, O, QmPOQ is  and the m, angle, SmS is 

m∠P = 65°, m∠Q = 42°, m∠R = 50°. What is m∠POQ and m∠ROS?

Solution

The diagram shows two intersecting triangles: POQ\triangle POQ and ROS\triangle ROS. You are given three angle measures:

mP=65,mQ=42,mR=50.m\angle P = 65^\circ, \quad m\angle Q = 42^\circ, \quad m\angle R = 50^\circ.

It seems you are being asked to determine certain angles related to these triangles and possibly the angles formed at the intersection point OO.


1. Angle mPOQm\angle POQ:

This angle is part of the triangle POQ\triangle POQ. Using the triangle angle sum property:

mP+mQ+mPOQ=180.m\angle P + m\angle Q + m\angle POQ = 180^\circ.

Plugging in the given values:

65+42+mPOQ=180,65^\circ + 42^\circ + m\angle POQ = 180^\circ,

mPOQ=180107=73.m\angle POQ = 180^\circ - 107^\circ = 73^\circ.

So, the measure of POQ\angle POQ is:

mPOQ=73.m\angle POQ = 73^\circ.


2. Determining mROSm\angle ROS:

There is no direct information for this triangle, but if it is a vertically opposite angle to POQ\angle POQ, they will be equal. Since vertically opposite angles are congruent, we can conclude:

mROS=73.m\angle ROS = 73^\circ.


Final Answer:

mPOQ=73,mROS=73.m\angle POQ = 73^\circ, \quad m\angle ROS = 73^\circ.
