The internal bisectors of ∠Q and ∠R of ΔPQR meet at S. If m\angle P=75°, then m\angle QSR is:
105.5°
102.5°
112.5°
127.5°
127.5°
Remember that the angle between the internal bisectors of two interior angles of a triangle is given directly by 90°+2third angle.
m\angle P = 75°
∠QSR=90°+21∠P
Remember that the angle between the internal bisectors of two interior angles of a triangle is given directly by 90°+2third angle.
Many students subtract the angle from 180° or 90° instead of adding half of the opposite angle.
Understand the Geometry Property
In any triangle △PQR, if the internal bisectors of ∠Q and ∠R meet at point S, the angle ∠QSR is given by the standard formula involving the opposite vertex angle ∠P.
∠QSR=90°+21∠P
Substitute the Given Value
We are given that m∠P=75°. Substitute this value into the formula.
∠QSR=90°+275°
Calculate the Result
Compute 275=37.5°, then add it to 90° to find the final angle measure.
∠QSR=90°+37.5°=102.5°
B is correct because the angle formed by the internal bisectors of \u2220Q and \u2220R is 90\u00b0 + (75\u00b0 / 2) = 102.5\u00b0.
This property of incenter angle is frequently used in geometry questions involving circumcircles, incenters, and polygon interior angles.
