In the diagram, PQRW is a circle. Line P, V and QR are produced to meet at M, where ∠WMR = 30° and |WM| = |MR| Find the value of x

  • A. 10°
  • B. 25°
  • C. 35°
  • D. 60°

Correct Answer: B. 25°

Explanation

MPQ = PQM = 3x; ?MPQ

MPQ + PQM + PMQ = 180o; 3x + 3x + 30o = 180o

6x \times 30o = 180o; 6x + 180o - 30o; 6x + 150o

\(x = \frac{150}{6} = 25^{\circ}\)
