PQRST is a cyclic pentagon and PT is a diameter, then ∠PQR + ∠RST is equal to
-
- 180°
- 270°
- 216°
- 144°
- 180°
Correct Option: B
As per the given in question , we draw a figure cyclic pentagon PQRST
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (2n – 4) × 90°
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (2 × 5 – 4) × 90° = 540°
If PQ = QR = RS = ST
∴ ∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS = ∠SOT = | = 45° | |

∴ OP = OQ = OR = OS = OT = radii
∴ ∠OPQ = | = | ||
2 | 2 |
∴ ∠PQR + ∠RST = 4 × | = 270° | |
