Solution
We have a quadrilateral named PQRS, with diagonals PR and QS intersecting at O.
∠P =85°, ∠Q = 85°, ∠R = 95°
By the angle sum property of a quadrilateral, we get:
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360
8585 + 95 + ∠S = 360
265 + ∠S = 360
∠S = 95
Clearly, ∠P ≠ ∠R
And ∠Q ≠ ∠S
Thus, we have PQRS a quadrilateral with opposite angles that are not equal.
Therefore,
PQRS is not a parallelogram.
