To determine which equation may be used to find the measure of ∠TSV (represented by v), we first need to consider the relationship between angles in a triangle, supplementary angles, or any context that may exist based on the problem’s setup.

If the context is that ∠TSV and another angle (let’s say 54 degrees) are supplementary (which means they add up to 180 degrees), the equation to find ∠TSV would be:

v + 54 = 180

If ∠TSV is one angle in a right triangle where it and another angle are complementary (adding up to 90 degrees), the equation would be:

v + 54 = 90

We also have scenarios where one angle could be equal to the difference from another angle, thus leading to the equations:

  1. If ∠TSV along with angle 157 degrees adds to form a straight line (180 degrees), you would write: v + 157 = 180

  2. If ∠TSV along with the angle of 157 degrees adds to equal 54 degrees (however unusual this context is, it still is a possibility), you would write: v + 157 = 54

Based on the common relationships in triangles or linear pairs, the most viable option is:

  • v + 54 = 180 (if we're assuming they are supplementary)
  • v + 54 = 90 (if they're complementary)

Without additional context, we can only assume these relationships.

Answer to Part 1:

Based on assumptions commonly used: v + 54 = 180 (because it deals with angles summing to 180 degrees)

Part 2:

To find ∠TSV, assuming the equation was v + 54 = 180:

  1. Rearranging gives: v = 180 - 54 v = 126 degrees.

So, ∠TSV = 126 degrees.

You may need to adjust the choice of equation based on the specific context of your question, but the logic above should guide you appropriately!
