m < P = m < S becuase the triangles are similar.

m < P = 86 degrees

Answer:
86^(\circ)

Explanation:

Given :
\triangle{STV}\sim\triangle{PQR}

We know that the corresponding angles of two similar triangles are congruent.

i.e.
\angle{S}\cong\angle{P} (1)


\angle{T}\cong\angle{Q}


\angle{V}\cong\angle{R}

From the given picture , we have
\angle{S}=86^(\circ)

Then from (1),
\angle{P}=86^(\circ)

Hence,
\angle{P}=86^(\circ)
