In the below fig, PQ ∥ AB and PR ∥ BC.

Question:

In the below fig, PQ ∥ AB and PR ∥ BC. If ∠QPR = 102°, determine ∠ABC Give reasons.

Solution:

AB is produce to meet PR at K

Since PQ ∥ AB

∠QPR = ∠BKR = 102°        [corresponding angles]

Since PR ∥ BC

∠RKB + ∠CBK = 180°        [Since Corresponding angles are supplementary]

∠CKB = 180 - 102 = 78

∴  ∠CKB = 78°
