We know that,
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180°.
⇒ ∠QPS + ∠QRS = 180°
⇒ 73° + ∠QRS = 180°
⇒ ∠QRS = 180° - 73°
⇒ ∠QRS = 107°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180°
⇒ ∠PSR + ∠PQS + ∠RQS = 180°
⇒ 82° + 55° + ∠RQS = 180°
⇒ 137° + ∠RQS = 180°
⇒ ∠RQS = 180° - 137°
⇒ ∠RQS = 43°.
By angle sum property of a triangle we get,
⇒ ∠PSQ + ∠PQS + ∠QPS = 180°
⇒ ∠PSQ + 55° + 73° = 180°
⇒ ∠PSQ + 128° = 180°
⇒ ∠PSQ = 180° - 128°
⇒ ∠PSQ = 52°.
∠PSQ = ∠PRQ = 52° [Angles in the same segment]
Hence, ∠QRS = 107°, ∠RQS = 43° and ∠PRQ = 52°.
