6. दी गई आकृति में, ∠QRN=40∘, ∠PQR=46∘ तथा MN बिन्दु R पर एक स्पर्श रेखा है। क्रमशः x, y तथा z का मान (डिग्री में) क्या है?
In the given figure, ∠QRN=40∘, ∠PQR=46∘ and MN is a tangent to the point R. What is the value (in degrees) of x, y and z respectively?
DIAGRAM DETAILS:
A circle contains an inscribed triangle PQR. A tangent line MN touches the circle at point R.
- Vertices P, Q, and R lie on the circle forming △PQR.
- The line MN passes through R, with M on one side and N on the other.
- The angle between the tangent segment RN and the chord RQ, labeled ∠QRN, is indicated as 40∘ (or related to angle markings).
- ∠PQR=46∘.
- Angles x, y, and z are indicated at the vertices/intersections involving the triangle and the tangent line.
Answer: (c) 130∘
Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Find the base angles of isosceles triangle ABC
In ΔABC, since AB=AC, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal, which means ∠B=∠C. The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180∘. Subtracting ∠A=80∘ leaves 100∘, so each base angle measures 50∘.
Step 2: Calculate the halved angles formed by the angle bisectors
Since segments BD and CD are the angle bisectors of ∠B and ∠C, they divide each angle into 2 equal halves. Therefore, ∠DBC=50∘/2=25∘ and ∠DCB=50∘/2=25∘.
Step 3: Determine angle BDC in triangle BDC
In ΔBDC, the sum of the interior angles is 180∘. Adding ∠DBC and ∠DCB gives 25∘+25∘=50∘. Subtracting 50∘ from 180∘ yields ∠BDC=130∘. Alternatively, using the incenter formula: ∠BDC=90∘+2∠A=90∘+40∘=130∘.
