RSTU is a parallelogram. If m∠TUV = 78° and m∠TVU = 54°, explain how you can find the measure of ∠SRV. Show all steps of your work, and refer to any properties of triangles, parallelograms, or triangle congruency theorems as necessary to justify your response.

help please

what's V?

thats the image

Since you know angle TUV and angle TVU, can you find angle UTV if angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees?

justboredandneedhelp:

yeah 54+48+x=180 so x=78

minustempo:

You have the right angle measurements but in the wrong order I think angle TUV is 78 degrees, angle TVU is 54 degrees, so angle TUV is 180-78-54 = 48 degrees

justboredandneedhelp:

ohhhhhh so thats the answer

minustempo:

sorry I meant UTV is 48 degrees

minustempo:

And then because of the alternate interior angles theorem, angle UTV is equal to angle SRV, so yes that is the answer

WOW i really needed this thank you
