In the diagram, O is the centre. If PQ//RS and ∠ONS = 140°, find the size of ∠POM.

  • A. 40°
  • B. 50°
  • C. 60°
  • D. 80°

Correct Answer: A. 40°

Explanation

In the diagram above,

∠MNO = 140° and angles on a straight line is 180°

: ∠NMO = (180 - 140)° = 40°

Hence; ∠POM = 40° ( alternate angle ∠S)
