JAMB 2020 - Question 27
Mathematics 2020 JAMB Past Questions - Question 27: in the figure above, PQRS is a circle with ST||RQ . find the value of x if PT = PS.
Use the diagram to answer question that follows

A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
SPT = 180 - 110 = 70°Since SPT is an isoscelesΔi.e PST = PTS = 180 – 70 (sum of angles in a Δ)= 110i.e PST = 110/2 = 55° = PTS since ST↗↗ RQi.e PTS = x (corresponding angles)i.e x = 55°
