alternative method (and probably the method they expect since they don't expect P6 to know angle sum of quadrilateral = 360°)

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°

Another alternative solution :


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°
