In the diagram, triangle MNR is inscribed in circle MNR, and line PQ is a straight line. ∠MRN = 41 and = 141, find ∠QNR

 

39º
80º
110º
141º

Explanation

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite and non-adjacent interior angles.

∠M = ∠R + ∠N 

→ 141 = 41 + ∠N

∠N = 141 - 41 = 100º

∠QNR = 180 - 100 → 80º
