RUVY and RTWY are parallelograms and SXW is an isosceles triangle. Given that ∠SWT = 37°, ∠RYX = 62° and ∠UWV = 50°, find
- ∠TWU,
- ∠UTW.
(a)
∠SWX
= (180° - 23°) ÷ 2
= 78.5° (Isosceles triangle)
∠TWU
= 180° - 78.5° - 37° - 50°
= 14.5° (Angles on a straight line)
(b)
∠UTW
= 180° - 50° -14.5°
= 115.5° (Interior angles)
Answer(s): (a) 14.5°; (b) 115.5°
