ECZ 2012 · O-Level Paper 1 — Circle Theorems

In the diagram, PQR is parallel to TS, QUT is a straight line, angle QRU = 30 degrees, angle TSU = 20 degrees and angle SUT = 97 degrees. Calculate angle PQT.

  • A. 97 degrees
  • B. 30 degrees
  • C. 117 degrees
  • D. 63 degrees

Verified working — step 1

In triangle UTS the angles sum to 180, so angle UTS = 180 - (97 + 20) = 63 degrees. PQR is parallel to TS with QT as transversal, so angle PQT and angle QTS are alternate angles: angle PQT = …
