Answer:

m<RPQ = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<SRQ = 90°

PS = PQ

m<SQR = 46°

Required:

m<RPQ

Solution:

m<SQR + m<SRQ + m<RSQ = 180°

Substitute

46° + 90° + m<RSQ = 180°

m<RSQ = 180° - 136°

m<RSQ = 44°

Find m<PSQ:

m<PSQ = 180° - m<RSQ (Angles on a straight line

m<PSQ = 180° - 44° (Substitution)

m<PSQ = 136°

Find m<RPQ:

∆QSP is an isosceles triangle with two equal base angles. Therefore:

m<RPQ = ½(180° - 136°)

m<RPQ = 22°
