Answer:

5√13

Explanation:

We know that PQWV is a square because its given. A square has all congruent sides. Therfore, VW is 10. The. length of VU is fifteen because the length of PU is 25 since PRSU is a square. We know that m<PVW is 90 degrees because PQWV is a square. Therefore, we can say the m<UVW is 90 degrees because of a straight line. Using the pythagorean therom (a^2 +b^2=c^2 (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)) we can say that √(10^2+15^2). This equals to √325. This can be simplified to 5√13.
