In quadrilateral PQRS, ∠P : ∠Q : ∠R : ∠S = 3 : 4 : 6 : 7.
Calculate each angle of the quadrilateral and then prove that PQ and SR are parallel to each other
(i) Is PS also parallel to QR?
(ii) Assign a special name to quadrilateral PQRS.

उत्तर
∵ ∠P : ∠Q : ∠R : ∠S = 3: 4: 6: 7
Let ∠P = 3x
∠Q = 4x
∠R = 6x
∠S = 7x
∴ ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
3x + 4x + 6x + 7x = 360°
20x = 360°
x = 18°
∴ ∠P = 3x = 3 × 18 = 54°
∠Q = 4x = 4 × 18 = 72°
∠R = 6x = 6 × 18 = 108°
∠S = 7x = 7 × 18 = 126°
∠Q + ∠R = 72° + 108° = 180°
or ∠P + ∠S = 54° + 126° = 180°
Hence PQ || SR
As ∠P + ∠Q = 72° + 54° = 126°
Which is ≠ 180°
∴ PS and QR are not parallel.
PQRS is a Trapezium as its one pair of opposite side is parallel.
