Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
< PTQ = 25° (base angles of an isos. triangle)
\(\therefore\) < PQT = 180° - (25° + 25°) = 130° (sum of angles in triangle PQT)
\(\therefore\) < RST = 130° - 75° = 55° (exterior angle = sum of 2 opp. interior angles)
< PTQ = 25° (base angles of an isos. triangle)
\(\therefore\) < PQT = 180° - (25° + 25°) = 130° (sum of angles in triangle PQT)
\(\therefore\) < RST = 130° - 75° = 55° (exterior angle = sum of 2 opp. interior angles)
