Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 10:**
Consider the triangle \( \triangle PQR \) with the following angle measures:
- \( \angle RPQ = x^\circ \)
- \( \angle PRQ = 58^\circ \)
- \( \angle PQR = (2x)^\circ \)
Find the following:
- \( x = \_\_\_ \)
- \( m\angle P = \_\_\_ \)
- \( m\angle PQR = \_\_\_ \)
*Solution provided:*
1. \( x = 61 \) ❌
2. \( m\angle P = 61^\circ \) ❌
3. \( m\angle PQR = 61^\circ \) ❌
**Explanation of the Diagram:**
The diagram shows a triangle \( \triangle PQR \) with vertex \( P \) at the top. The triangle has two given angles: \( \angle PRQ = 58^\circ \) located at vertex \( R \), and \( \angle PQR = (2x)^\circ \) located at vertex \( Q \). The angle \( \angle RPQ = x^\circ \) is at vertex \( P \).
The goal is to solve for \( x \) and determine the measures of the specified angles using the information provided. Given that the sum of angles in any triangle is \( 180^\circ \), calculations should utilize this property to find the unknown values accurately. The marked solutions are demonstrated to be incorrect, as the cross "❌" indicates errors in the provided answers.
