Question

In AUVW, VW UV and mZV = 71°. Find mZU.

Answer 1

Do you have a picture of your problem?

ok

By the information given, we imply that this is a scalene.

Also we know that the addition of the interior angles in a triangle = 180°.

angle V + angle U + angle W = 180°

71° + angle U + angle W = 180° but U = W,

So, 71° + 2U = 180°

2U = 180 - 71

2U = 109°

U = 109/2

U = 54.5°

Conclusion angle U = 54.5°
