triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle with the size of angle ACB equal to 74 degrees. The lengths of the sides AM, MQ and QP are all equal. Find the measure of angle QPB.
In the question, we start by determining the size of angle CAB
180 - (90+74) = 160
angle QAM is equal to angle MQA. we obtain the value of angle AMQ as;
180-(16+16) = 1480
angle AMQ and QMP are supplementary and hence the size of angle QMP is 320
angles QMP and QPM are equal
angles QPM and QPB are supplementary and hence adds up to 1800
to obtain the obtuse angle QPB, we subtract 32 from 180
180-32 = 1480
The value of angle QPB is 1480
