Question -

In the figure, PQ || AB and PR || BC. If ∠QPR = 102°. Determine ∠ABC. Give reasons.



Answer -

In the figure, PQ || AB and PR || BC
∠QPR = 102°
Produce BA to meet PR at D
 
∵ PQ || AB or DB
∴ ∠QPR = ∠ADR (Corresponding angles)
∴∠ADR = 102° or ∠BDR = 102°
∵ PR || BC
∴ ∠BDR + ∠DBC = 180°
(Sum of co-interior angles) ⇒ 102° + ∠DBC = 180°
⇒ ∠DBC = 180° – 102° = 78°
⇒ ∠ABC = 78°
