Construct ∆PQR if PQ = 5 cm, m ∠PQR = 105° and m∠QRP = 40°.
(Hint: Recall angle-sum property of a triangle)



Answer -

Given: m∠PQR = 40°, m∠QRP = 105°
∵ m∠PQR + m∠QRP + ∠QPR = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
105° + 40° + ∠QPR = 180°
145° + ∠QPR = 180°
∴ ∠QPR = 180° – 145° = 35°
 
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw PQ = 5 cm.
(ii) Draw ∠QPR = 35° and ∠PQR = 40° to meet each other at R.
(iii) ∆PQR is the required triangle.
