In a trapezium PQRS, PQ || SR, find the value of ∠x and ∠y.
Answer»
∵ PQ || SR ∴ x + 90° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 90° = 90° Again ∴ PQRS is a quadrilateral ∴ x + y + 130° + 90° = 360° ∵ We know that sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 360° ⇒ 90° + y + 130° + 90° = 360° ⇒ y + 310° = 360° ⇒ y = 360° – 310° ⇒ y = 50°
