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 ∠XYP
- A. 100°
- B. 80°
- C. 50°Correct
- D. 40°
Explanation
The locus (perpendicular bisector of XY) is perpendicular to XY, and UV is parallel to it, so ∠XYU=90°. Then ∠XYP=90-40=50°.
