Answer:

∠RUS = 90°

Explanation:

PT is a line. This means that it has a measure of 180°

This means that all of the angles that it is broken up into must add together to equal 180°.

In this case, ∠PUQ +∠QUR +∠RUS +∠SUT = 180°

As we have the measures for all of the angles aside from ∠RUS, we can solve for that

First, let us input each of the measures of the angles

39+23+∠RUS+28=180

Now all we need to do is isolate ∠RUS by subtracting everything to the other side

Once that is done, we get

∠RUS = 90°

Answer:


\large\boxed{m\angle RUS=90^o}

Explanation:


m\angle PUT=m\angle PUQ+m\angle QUR+m\angle RUS+m\angle SUT\\\\\text{We have:}\\\\m\angle PUT=180^o,\ m\angle PUQ=39^o,\ m\angle QUR=23^o,\ m\angle SUT=28^o\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\180^o=39^o+23^o+m\angle RUS+28^o\\\\180^o=90^o+m\angle RUS\qquad\text{subtract}\ 90^o\ \text{from both sides}\\\\90^o=m\angle RUS
