In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle QOR is a diameter and ?PSR is 37°. Find ?PRQ
Answer Details
Since QOR is a diameter, it divides the circle into two equal halves, which means that ?QOR is a right angle (90°). Thus, we have:
?PQR = 180° - ?QOR (sum of angles in a triangle)
?PQR = 180° - 90° (since ?QOR is a right angle)
?PQR = 90°
Now, we have a right triangle PQR with right angle at Q. Since we know that ?PSR is 37°, we can use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180° to find ?PRQ:
?PQR + ?QPR + ?PRQ = 180°
90° + ?QPR + 37° = 180°
?QPR = 180° - 90° - 37°
?QPR = 53°
Therefore, the answer is 53°.
