1. Problem Description
Based on the provided image, the lines PQ and RS are parallel. We are given three angles: at point , at point , and at the point between and . We need to find a relationship between , , and .
2. Solution Steps
Since line PQ is parallel to line RS, we can draw a line through the vertex of angle such that this line is parallel to PQ and RS. Let us call the angles formed as a result of drawing the parallel line as and , where is between the line QR and the newly drawn parallel line, and is between the line RQ and the newly drawn parallel line. Then, .
Since PQ and the new line are parallel, and are alternate interior angles, so .
Since RS and the new line are parallel, and are alternate interior angles, so .
Therefore, .
