P is on the locus of points equidistant from two given points X and Y. UV is a straight line through Y parallel to the locus. If ∠PYU=40°, find ∠XPY
- A. 100°
- B. 80°
- C. 50°Correct
- D. 40°
Explanation
Since the locus (perpendicular bisector of XY) is parallel to UV and perpendicular to XY, ∠XYU=90°, so the related angle works out to 50°.
