Answer:

m∠WUV = 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal parts

We are given that:

UP is an angle bisector forming angles 1 and 2

This means that:

m∠1 = m∠2

We are given that:

m∠2 = 12°

Therefore:

m∠1 = m∠2 = 12°

Now, we want to get m∠WUV:

∠WUV can be written as the summation of angles 1 and 2

m∠WUV = m∠1 + m∠2

m∠WUV = 12° + 12°

m∠WUV = 24°

Hope this helps :)
