Q60
The side QR of an equilateral triangle PQR is produced to the point S in such a way that QR = RS and P is joined to S. Then the measure of ∠PSR is
A.
30°
AnswerB.
15°
C.
60°
D.
45°
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
According to question,Given :

PQR is an equilateral triangle
QR = RS
PR = RS
∠SRP = 180° - 60° (Exterior ∠)
∠SRP = 120°
∴ ∠RPS = ∠RSP
∴ ∠RPS + ∠PRS + ∠RSP = 180°
2∠PSR = 180° - 120°
∠PSR =
∠PSR = 30°
