Question

Point A is the incenter of △PQR. Find each measure

Answer 1

Answer:

$\angle ARU=40^{\circ}$

AU=20 units

$m\angle QPA=35^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\angle ARQ=40^{\circ}$

AT=20 units

Point A is the incenter of triangle PQR.

Incenter is that point where three angle bisector of triangle meets.

AR is the bisector of angle R of triangle PQR.

Therefore, $\angle ARQ=\angle ARU=40^{\circ}$

All right triangles are similar when two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Right angled triangle ATP and Right triangle AUP are similar.

Therefore,

$\frac{AT}{AU}=\frac{AP}{AP}=1$

$\frac{20}{AU}=1$

$AU=20$units

AP is the angle bisector  of angle P of triangle PQR

$\angle APQ=\angle APU$

$3x+2=4x-9$

$2+9=4x-3x$

$x=11$

Using the value of angle x

$\angle APQ=3x+2=3(11)+2$

$\angle APQ=35^{\circ}$

Hence, the measure of angle QPA=35 degree
