ANSWER


223

Option B

Step-by-step explanation

Given;


\begin{gathered} m\angle RST=108⁰. \\ m\angle UTY=115° \end{gathered}

Note that the pentagon is a regular polygon (all the angles are equal).

Hence;


m\angle RST=m\angle STY=108

The measure of angle STU is;


\angle STU=\angle STY+\angle UTY

Hence, substitute the values of the angles;


\begin{gathered} \operatorname{\angle}STU=\operatorname{\angle}STY+\operatorname{\angle}UTY \\ =108+115 \\ =223 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the measure of angle STU is 223 degrees
