PQRS is a rectangle, the perpendicular ST from S on PR divides angle S in the ratio 2 : 3. Find angle TPQ.
Given: PQRS is a rectangle, the perpendicular ST from S on PR divides angle S in the ratio 2 : 3.
To find: Here we have to find the value of the angle TPQ.
Solution:
Now,
∠PSR = 90°
It is given that, the perpendicular ST from S on PR divides angle S in the ratio 2 : 3.
Divide the 90° angle into the ratio 2 : 3.
$2x\ +\ 3x\ =\ 90°$
$5x\ =\ 90°$
$x\ =\ 18°$
Therefore,
$2x\ =\ 2\ \times\ 18\ =\ 36°$
And,
$3x\ =\ 3\ \times\ 18\ =\ 54°$
So,
∠PST = 36°
Now, in ∆PST;
∠PST $+$ ∠PTS $+$ ∠TPS = 180° (Sum of all angles of a triangle)
36° $+$ 90° $+$ ∠TPS = 180°
∠TPS = 180° $-$ 36° $-$ 90°
∠TPS = 180° $-$ 36° $-$ 90°
∠TPS = 54°
Now,
∠TPQ = ∠SPQ $–$ ∠TPS
∠TPQ = 90° $–$ 54°
∠TPQ = 36°
So, value of angle TPQ is 36°.
