Detailed Solution

It is given that PQRSTU is a regular hexagon.
Question ImageAs we know that the sum of all interior angles of a hexagon is 720 o  .
 As there are six angles, so the measure of each angle is 720°6=120°.
That is, UPQ=PQR=UTS= 120 °   Here, T   is opposite of Q  , i.e, the line TQ is the bisector of the angle PQR  ,
So, TQP= 1 2 PQR= 1 2 × 120 ° = 60 °  .
From the figure, PTQ= 1 4 UTS= 1 4 × 120 ° = 30 °  .
Let, TPQ= x °  .
Now, in ΔTPQ  , by applying angle sum property, we get,
TPQ+TQP+PTQ=180° 
x ° + 60 ° + 30 ° = 180 ° x ° + 90 ° = 180 ° x ° = 90 °  
So, the measures of all angles of the ΔTPQ  are 90 ° , 60 ° , 30 °  .
Hence, the correct option is 2.
