Solution
∠P + ∠Q = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal)
∠P + 130° = 180°
∠P = 50°
∠R + ∠S = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal)
90° + ∠R = 180°
∠S = 90°
Yes. There is one more method to find the measure of m∠P.
m∠R and m∠Q are given. After finding m∠S, the angle sum property of a quadrilateral can be applied to find m∠P.
