Answer:
The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- Bisect an angle means divide the angle into two equal parts in
measures
- Ex: If angle ABC is bisected by a ray BD then:
- Angle ABC is divided into two equal parts in measure
m∠ABD = m∠CBD and
m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠CBD
- So we can say measure of angle ABC is twice measure of angle
ABD or twice measure of angle CBD
* Lets solve the problem
- Julio bisects angle PQR and labels a point on the bisector as S
∴ m∠PQS = m∠RQS
∴ m∠PQR = m∠PQS + m∠RQS
∴ m∠PQR = 2 m∠PQS ⇒ (or 2 m∠RQS)
- He measures angle PQS with a protractor and find its measure is
37 degrees
∵ m∠PQS = 37°
∴ m∠PQR = 2 × m∠PQS
∴ m∠PQR = 2 × 37 = 74°
∴ The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees
