Example
In rectangle PRST, ST and RT are extended as shown.
What is mLUTV?
Since LPTS is a right angle, LPTR and
LRTS are complementary angles.
x + (2x-57) = 90
3x - 57 = 90
3x = 147
X = 49
So, m/UTV = 41°.
(2x-57)
T
LRTS and LUTV are vertical angles,
so m/UTV = m/RTS.
m/UTV = (2x - 57)°
= [2(49) - 57]⁰°
= 41°
S
Name another pair of complementary angles and another pair of vertical angles
Find m
