RSTU is a parallelogram. If m∠SRV = 48° and m∠SVR = 54°, explain how you can find the measure of ∠TUV. Show all steps of your work, and refer to any properties of triangles, parallelograms, or triangle congruency theorems as necessary to justify your response.

@dude

dude:

Hmm maybe I am missing something, is there a diagram that came along with this?

kimberlyskyy:

yea lemme add it

dude:

|dw:1569081526375:dw| Do you know what vertical angles are?

kimberlyskyy:

yes

dude:

Yes so you would prove that \(\angle\)TVU \(\cong \)\(\angle\)SVR because they are vertical angles Additionally point V is the intersecting point between \(\overline{RT}\) and \(\overline{SU}\) [Remember that for all parallelograms, the perpendicular lines always intersect at the bisector] |dw:1569082042623:dw| Based on the markings, the angle with 48º is connected to the line marked with 1 tick, therefore the opposite angle VTU is also 48 |dw:1569082221590:dw|

dude:

And I assume you know that all angles inside a triangle must equal to 180º, so add \(54+48 +x =180\) and solve for x to find \(\angle U\)

kimberlyskyy:

yes

dude:

`Based on the markings, the angle with 48º is connected to the line marked with 1 tick, therefore the opposite angle VTU is also 48` I'm going to correct myself here, the proper way of proving this is through the alternate interior angles

kimberlyskyy:

ok

dude:

If you didn't know what any of these terms meant or what I meant by something, ask ahead

kimberlyskyy:

thank u i got it i know what u mean

kimberlyskyy:

thanks for the help

dude:

Of course (:

kimberlyskyy:

what grade u in btw

dude:

kimberlyskyy:

ok
