In △PQR\triangle PQR, the following information is given: • ∠P=(3y+10)∘\angle P=(3y+10)^{\circ}; this angle is acute. • ∠Q\angle Q is the angle that completes ∠P\angle P to a right angle. • ∠R\angle R is twice the angle that completes ∠P\angle P to a right angle. Answer the questions below, showing every step. (i) Establish an equation involving yy by using the above information together with the angle–sum property of a triangle. (ii) Solve the equation obtained in part (i) to find the value of yy. (iii) Determine the measures of all three angles of △PQR\triangle PQR. (iv) State the type of triangle △PQR\triangle PQR on the basis of its angles, giving reasons for your answer.
