Answer:

arcPSU = 224degrees

Explanation:

From the given diagram;

arcPSU = arcPQ + arcQR + arcRS + arcST + arcTU

Given

arcPQ = arcTU

arcQR = arcRS = 37

arcAST = 90

Since 136 + arcPQ + 37+37+90+arcTU = 360

136+2arcPQ+ 37+37+90= 360

2arcPQ+300 = 360

2arcPQ = 360 - 300

2arcPQ = 60

arcPQ = 60/2

arcPQ = 30degrees

Substitute into the above expression

arcPSU = arcPQ + arcQR + arcRS + arcST + arcTU

arcPSU = 360 - arcPU

arcPSU = 360 - 136

arcPSU = 224degrees
