Answer:

Explanation:

Angle UTV is a central angle. The rule is that the measure of a central angle is the same as the measure of the arc its rays intercept. Angle UTV intercepts arc UV which measure 68 degrees. Therefore, angle UTV also measures 68 degrees.

As far as the next angle goes, angle VUW, the rule is that the measure of the angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. So angle VUW = 34 degrees
