If
RT
and
UW
are parallel lines and mWVX= 130°, what is mUVS?

Answer 1

To find \( mUVS \), we can use the properties of parallel lines and alternate interior angles.

Since \( RT \) and \( UW \) are parallel lines, and \( WVX \) is a transversal crossing both lines, the angle \( mWVX \) at point \( W \) is 130°.

By the properties of alternate interior angles, \( mUVS \) is equal to \( mWVX \). Therefore:

\[ mUVS = mWVX = 130° \]

Thus, the measure of angle \( UVS \) is 130°.
