Since QS bisects ∠PQT, we can set ∡SQT equal to ∡PQT.
So, (8x−25) = (9x+34)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
8x − 25 = 9x + 34
Subtracting 8x from both sides, we get:
-25 = x + 34
Subtracting 34 from both sides, we get:
-59 = x
Thus, the measure of ∠PQT is:
∡PQT = 9x + 34
= 9(-59) + 34
= -531 + 34
= -497
Therefore, the measure of ∠PQT is -497 degrees.
If QS−→bisects ∠PQT. If ∡SQT = (8x−25)° and ∡PQT = (9x+34)°find the measure of ∠PQT
