Teacher is my answer correct?
angle SPQ + angle SQP = 180° - 110° = 70°
(angle sum of triangle PSQ)
angle RQP + RPQ
= angle SPQ + angle SQP + angle RPS + angle RQS
= 70° + 10° + 10°
= 90°
Angle PRQ = 180° - 90° (angle sum of triangle PRQ)
= 90°
angle PSQ = 110°
Since sum of angles at a point = 360°,
Then
angle PSQ + reflex angle PSQ = 360°
110° + reflex angle PSQ = 360° ①
But sum of angles in a quadrilateral also= 360° (the one you've used in your working)
So,
angle RPS + angle RQS + angle PRQ + reflex angle PSQ = 360°
Which means that :
10° + 10° + angle PRQ + reflex angle PSQ = 360°
20° + angle PRQ + reflex angle PSQ = 360°②
Notice that both equations ① and ② have reflex angle PSQ in common and that angle sum is equal to 360°
This tells you that :
20° + angle PRQ = 110°
so angle PRQ = 110° - 20° = 90°
