Answer 1

Answer:

m∠R is 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure

∵ ΔPQR ≅ ΔUVW

→ From congruency

∵ m∠P = m∠U

∵ m∠Q = m∠V

∴ m∠R = m∠W

∵ m∠R = (10x - 18)°

∵ m∠W = 8x°

∵ m∠R = m∠W

→ Equate their measures

∴ 10x - 18 = 8x

→ Add 18 to both sides

∵ 10x - 18 + 18 = 8x + 18

∴ 10x = 8x + 18

→ Subtract 8x from both sides

∴ 10x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 18

∴ 2x = 18

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 9

→ Substitute the value of x in the m∠R

∵ m∠R = 10(9) - 18

∴ m∠R = 90 - 18

∴ m∠R = 72°

∴ m∠R is 72°
