    Question



    In PQR, side QR is produced to a point S, and exterior angle PRS 100°. If RP RQ, then measure of PQR is

    A.

    50°

    B.

    70°

    C.

    75°

    D.

    80°

    Correct option is A

    Using the Exterior Angle Theorem:
    The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.  
    In this case, the exterior angle PRS is 100°, and the two remote interior angles are PQR and PRQ.  
    So, 100° = PQR + PRQ.
    Using the properties of an isosceles triangle:
    Since triangle PQR is isosceles with base PR, angles PQR and PRQ are equal.
    Let's denote the measure of each of these angles as x.
    So, 100° = x + x
    Solving for x:
    2x = 100°
    x = 50°
    Therefore, the measure of angle PQR is 50°.
