Answer:

m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg

Explanation:

3)

Since WXYZ is a square, <WXZ is formed with a diagonal of the square and has measure 45 deg.

m<WXZ = 8x - 19 = 45

8x - 19 = 45

8x = 64

x = 8

4)

Draw the kite. Make sure that segments QR and RS are not congruent. Fill in the given angle measures. Angles R and T are congruent opposite angles.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex, n-sided polygon is

180(n 2).

A kite is a quadrilateral, so n = 4.

180(4 - 2) = 180(2) = 360

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a kite is 360 deg.

m<Q + m<R + m<S + m<T = 360

75 + m<R + 124 + m<T = 360

m<R + m<T + 199 = 360

m<R + m<T = 161

m<R = m<T, so we substitute m<T with m<R.

m<R + m<R = 161

2m<R = 161

m<R = 80.5

m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg
