  • As it's a kite <R is equally bisected

So

  • <TRU=<TRS=27°

Diagonals of Rhombus intercect at 90°.

So

Using angle sum property


\\ \tt\longmapsto 90+27+<RUS=180


\\ \tt\longmapsto <RUS=180-117=63°

Answer:

  • 63°

Explanation:

The diagonals of the kite are perpendicular: RT ⊥ SU

RT is angle bisector of ∠SRU

∠RSU and ∠RUS are equal angles and are complementary with ∠SRT:

  • m∠RUS = 90° - 27° = 63°
