P Q S R 22° If ∠PQR measures 75°, what is the measure of ∠SQR? ① 22° ② 45° ③ 53° ④ 97°

Answer: 53°

Explanation: The problem involves the concept of supplementary angles. In a straight line, the sum of angles is 180°. Given that \(\angle PQR\) is 75° and \(\angle PQS\) is 22°, we can find \(\angle SQR\) by subtracting the sum of these two angles from 180°.

Steps:

  1. Identify the known angles:
  • \(\angle PQR = 75^\circ\)
  • \(\angle PQS = 22^\circ\)
  1. Use the supplementary angle theorem:

\[ \angle PQR + \angle PQS + \angle SQR = 180^\circ \]

  1. Substitute the known values:

\[ 75^\circ + 22^\circ + \angle SQR = 180^\circ \]

  1. Calculate \(\angle SQR\):

\[ \angle SQR = 180^\circ - 75^\circ - 22^\circ = 83^\circ \]

  1. Correct the calculation:

\[ \angle SQR = 180^\circ - 97^\circ = 83^\circ \]

The correct calculation should be:

\[ \angle SQR = 180^\circ - 75^\circ - 22^\circ = 83^\circ \]

Therefore, the measure of \(\angle SQR\) is 83°.
