I think the above question needs a correction and `O` is the point of intersection of `TU` and `QS`. Assuming the above condition, The required area OTS is a triangle having two sides are equal and angle `STO` is right angle. So that the triangle OTS is a regular right angled triangle. Here PQ = PS...

Here PQ=PS = 8cm=> ST=4cm => area OTS = 1/2 * 4 * 4 sqcms = 8 sqcms read less

PQRS IS SQUARE AND T AND U are mid pts of PS &QR, TU//PS AND TU=PS(DINCRVPQRS IS A SQUARE), JOIN QS WHICH INTERSECTS TU AT O, IN ∆PQS ST/TP=1(T IS MID PT OF SP) AND TO//PQ, THEREFORE O IS THE MID POINT OF SQ, by theorem, TO//PQ AND TO=1/2 OF PQ =4CM, AR. OF ∆OTS= 1/2*TS*OT=1/2*4*4=8 SQ.cm

The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find all the three angles.
Let the any one of the angle of triangle be x then other two angle are x+10, x+20 According to Question, x + (x+10) + (x+20)=180 3x + 30 = 180 3x = 150 x = 50 Thus, angles would be 50, 60, and 70.

Can a triangle have two obtuse angles? Give reason for your answer.
No, because the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degree & sum of any two obtuse angles is always more than 180 degree. So, it can not be possible that a triangle have two obtuse angles.
