Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Answer:-</h2><h3>Given ,</h3>

The figure is Similar.

Observation:-

Similar figures have similar sides. If we see carefully in smaller triangle, 3 has been added to each side and they are similar. We need to find y.

We have :-

5+3=8 as similar sides.

So, applying same algorithm,

$y + 3 = 5$

$y = 5 - 3$

$\boxed{ \tt{y = 2 \ cm}}$

is the answer.

Hope it helps :)

$\huge\boxed{55^\circ}$

First of all, we know that $\angle Q=95^{\circ}$ because of its vertical angle. $\angle Q$ is also equal to $\dfrac{\widehat{RS}+\widehat{UT}}{2}$ because it's an interior angle.

$\begin{aligned}\angle Q&=\frac{\widehat{RS}+\widehat{UT}}{2}\\95^\circ&=\frac{135^\circ+\widehat{UT}}{2}&&\qquad&&\textsf{Substitute in the known values.}\\190^\circ&=135^\circ+\widehat{UT}&&\qquad&&\textsf{Multiply both sides by $2$.}\\55^\circ&=\widehat{UT}&&\qquad&&\textsf{Subtract $135^\circ$ from both sides.}\\\widehat{UT}&=\boxed{55^\circ}&&\qquad&&\textsf{Switch the sides of the equation to show our answer.}\end{aligned}$
