Answer:

ST = 8 m

SU = 7 m

m∠Q = 75°

m∠S = 59°

m∠R = 46°

m∠U = 46°

Explanation:

The given parameter are;

ΔPQR is congruent to ΔSTU

In ΔPQR, m∠P = 59°, PR = 8 m, PQ = 7 m

In ΔSTU, m∠T = 75°

By Side-Angle-Side rule of congruence, and given that m∠P ≠ m∠T, we can have;

m∠S ≅ m∠P, by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

ST ≅ PR, SU ≅ PQ, m∠Q ≅ m∠T, m∠U ≅ m∠R

Therefore;

ST = PR = 8 m

ST = 8 m

SU = PQ = 7 m

SU = 7 m

m∠Q = m∠T = 75°

m∠Q = 75°

m∠S = m∠P = 59°

m∠S = 59°

m∠U = m∠R = 180 - (75° + 59°) = 46°

m∠R = 46°

m∠U = 46°.
