The corresponding angles are exactly the same, that is, they measure the same. Therefore, if we know the measure of an angle at one intersection, we also know the measure of its corresponding angle at the second intersection.

In this case:


\measuredangle USR=\measuredangle\text{TNS}=\measuredangle\text{OPU}=\measuredangle\text{QPN}
\measuredangle QPU=\measuredangle OPN=\measuredangle RSN=\measuredangle\text{TSU}
