Question:

Quadrilateral PQRSPQRS is inscribed in a circle. If ∠P=(2x+10)∘\angle P = (2x + 10)^{\circ} and ∠R=(3x−20)∘\angle R = (3x - 20)^{\circ}, find the value of xx and the measures of ∠P\angle P and ∠R\angle R.

Answer: Verified

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180∘180^\circ.
∠P+∠R=180∘\angle P + \angle R = 180^{\circ} (2x+10)+(3x−20)=180(2x + 10) + (3x - 20) = 180   ⟹  5x−10=180\implies 5x - 10 = 180   ⟹  5x=190\implies 5x = 190   ⟹  x=38\implies x = 38

Now,
∠P=2(38)+10=86∘\angle P = 2(38) + 10 = 86^\circ ∠R=3(38)−20\angle R = 3(38) - 20 =114−20\quad = 114 - 20 =94∘\quad = 94^\circ
