In this fiqure PQ PR PS and SRT 68 o Find QPS - JAMB Mathematics 2020 Question

In this fiqure, PQ = PR = PS and SRT = 68\(^o\). Find QPS 

A

136\(^o\)

B

124\(^o\)

C

112\(^o\)

D

68\(^o\)

correct option: a

PQRS is quadrilateral. Hence,

2y + 2x + QPS = 360\(^o\)

i.e. (y + x) + QPS = 360\(^o\) 

QPS = 360\(^o\) - 2 (y + x)

But x + y + 68\(^o\) = 180\(^o\)

Therefor,

x + y = 180\(^o\) - 68\(^o\) = 112\(^o\)

QPS = 360 - 2(112\(^o\))

= 360\(^o\) - 224

= 136\(^o\)
