SOLUTION: Find the measurement of each angle. QS bisects <PQR, m<PQS= (5y-1) degrees, and m<PQR= (8y+12) degrees. Find m<PQS.

Question 495577: Find the measurement of each angle. QS bisects
Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Angle POR = 2(PQS)
Angle 8y + 12 = 2(5y - 1)
8y + 12 = 10y - 2
14 = 2y
7 = y
Angle PQR = 8(7) + 12 = 68 degrees.
Angle PQS = 5(7) - 1 = 34 degrees.
34 * 2 = 68
This does check.
