The triangle PQR above is

A.

an obtuse-angled triangle

B.

a scalene triangle

C.

an isosceles triangle

D.

an equilateral triangle

Correct Answer: an isosceles triangle

Explanation

∠PQR = 180 - 128 (∠s on a straight line) = 52° ∠QPR + 76 + 52 = 180(extr ∠ = sum of intr. opp ∠s) ∠QPR + 128 = 180 ∠QPR = 180 - 128 = 52° ∴ΔPQR is an isosceles triangle
