Worked solution

10(a)

1. Identify the isosceles triangle formed by the sides of the rhombus to find the base angles

Since PQRSPQRS is a rhombus, all its sides are equal, so PQ=PSPQ = PS.
This makes △PQS\triangle PQS an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, ∠PQS=∠PSQ=48∘\angle PQS = \angle PSQ = 48^\circ.

2. Calculate $\angle QPS$ using the angle sum of a triangle

∠QPS=180∘−48∘−48∘=84∘\angle QPS = 180^\circ - 48^\circ - 48^\circ = 84^\circ

Answer

84∘84^\circ

10(b)

1. Find $\angle PSR$ using the property of the rhombus.

In rhombus PQRSPQRS, the diagonal QSQS bisects the interior angle ∠PSR\angle PSR.
∠PSR=2×∠PSQ=2×48∘=96∘\angle PSR = 2 \times \angle PSQ = 2 \times 48^\circ = 96^\circ

2. Find $\angle RSV$ using angles on a straight line.

Since PSVPSV is a straight line:
∠RSV=180∘−∠PSR=180∘−96∘=84∘\angle RSV = 180^\circ - \angle PSR = 180^\circ - 96^\circ = 84^\circ

3. Find $\angle TSV$ using the property of the parallelogram.

In parallelogram STUVSTUV, TU∥SVTU \parallel SV. Thus, interior angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.
∠TSV=180∘−∠STU=180∘−116∘=64∘\angle TSV = 180^\circ - \angle STU = 180^\circ - 116^\circ = 64^\circ

4. Calculate $\angle RST$.

∠RST=∠RSV−∠TSV=84∘−64∘=20∘\angle RST = \angle RSV - \angle TSV = 84^\circ - 64^\circ = 20^\circ

Answer

20∘20^\circ

10(c)

1. Find $\angle QRS$ using the properties of a rhombus.

In rhombus PQRSPQRS, opposite angles are equal. From part (a), ∠QPS=84∘\angle QPS = 84^\circ.
∠QRS=∠QPS=84∘\angle QRS = \angle QPS = 84^\circ

2. Find $\angle SRT$ using the angle sum of $\triangle RST$.

Using ∠RST=20∘\angle RST = 20^\circ from part (b) and the given ∠RTS=21∘\angle RTS = 21^\circ:
∠SRT=180∘−20∘−21∘=139∘\angle SRT = 180^\circ - 20^\circ - 21^\circ = 139^\circ

3. Calculate $\angle QRT$ using angles at a point.

The angles ∠QRS\angle QRS, ∠SRT\angle SRT, and ∠QRT\angle QRT meet at point RR and complete a full circle (360∘360^\circ).
∠QRT=360∘−∠QRS−∠SRT\angle QRT = 360^\circ - \angle QRS - \angle SRT
∠QRT=360∘−84∘−139∘=137∘\angle QRT = 360^\circ - 84^\circ - 139^\circ = 137^\circ

Answer

137∘137^\circ
