Answer:
The measure of angle TRV is 130° ⇒ last answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>According to the attached graph</em>
- Line TRW intersects line SRV at point R
- The measure of angle VRT is (2x + 10)°
- The measure of angle VRW is (x - 10)°
- We need to find measure of angle TRV
- <em>From the attached figure</em>
∵ T , R , W lie on the same line
∴ ∠TRW is a straight angle
- The measure of the straight angle is 180°
∴ m∠TRW = 180°
∵ ∠TRW contains ∠VRT and ∠VRW
∴ m∠VRT + m∠VRW = m∠TRW
∴ m∠VRT + m∠VRW = 180°
∵ m∠VRT = (2x + 10)°
∵ m∠VRW is (x - 10)°
∴ 2x + 10 + x - 10 = 180
- Add like terms
∴ 3x = 180
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 60
∵ m∠TRV = (2x + 10)°
- Substitute x by 60
∴ m∠TRV = 2(60) + 10 = 120 + 10 = 130°
∴ The measure of angle TRV is 130°
