In the diagram below, we have AB || DC, PQ = QR, BPQ = 100 + x, and APR = x, Find x in degress
Since AB || CD, angle(APR) = angle(QRP) [alternate interior angles]
Since PQ = QR, angle(QRP) = angle(QPR) [base angles of an isosceles triangle]
Since angle(APR) = x, angle(QRP) = x [substitution, or transitivity]
angle(BPQ) + angle(QPR) + angle(RPA) = 180° [they form a line]
Therefore: (100° + x) + (x) + (x) = 180°
100° + 3x = 180°
3x = 80°
x = (80/3)°
