- 4In quadrilateral PQRS, angle P = degrees, angle Q = degrees, angle R = degrees, and angle S = degrees.(a)Using the fact that the angles of a quadrilateral sum to 360 degrees, form an equation in and solve it.[4 marks](b)Using your value of , find the size of each of the four angles P, Q, R and S.[4 marks](c)Determine whether PQRS could be a trapezium with side QR parallel to side PS, using the fact that co-interior (allied) angles between parallel lines sum to 180 degrees. Show your reasoning using the angles found in part (b).[5 marks]
