ECZ 2012 · O-Level Paper 1 — Circle Theorems

Using the same diagram, calculate angle RUS.

Diagram for ECZ 2012 · O-Level Paper 1
  • A. 50 degrees
  • B. 33 degrees
  • C. 83 degrees
  • D. 47 degrees

Verified working — step 1

Angle RQU = 180 - 63 = 117 degrees on the straight line PQR. In triangle QRU, angle QUR = 180 - (117 + 30) = 33 degrees. Along the straight line QUT, angle QUS = 180 - 97 = 83 degrees, and angle QUS = angle QUR + angle RUS, so angle RUS = 83 - 33 = …
