In the diagram below, we have \(\overline{AB}\parallel\overline{CD}\),\(QP = QR\) ,\(\angle BPQ = x^\circ + 100^\circ\) , and \(\angle APR = x^\circ\). Find \(x\).

Angle APR==Angle PRQ ==x


Angle PRQ ==Angle QPR==x  {Because triangle PQR is an isosceles triangle}


Angle BPQ ==Angle PQR ==100 + x 


From isosceles triangle PQR, we have:


(100 + x) + x + x ==180


3x ==180 - 100 ==80 


x ==80 / 3 ==26 + 2/3 == 26.6667 degrees
