Angles TSv and and vsr are adjacent. if angle TSR is 157 and angle VSR is 54. What is the measure of angle tsv?

1 answer

To find the measure of angle TSv, we can use the fact that adjacent angles (angles that share a common side and vertex) are supplementary. This means that the sum of the measures of adjacent angles equals 180 degrees.

Given:

  • Angle TSR = 157 degrees
  • Angle VSR = 54 degrees

To find angle TSv, we first note that angles TSv and VSR are adjacent angles. The sum of angles TSv and VSR is 180 degrees:

\[ \text{Angle TSv} + \text{Angle VSR} = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the measure of angle VSR:

\[ \text{Angle TSv} + 54^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Now, we can solve for angle TSv:

\[ \text{Angle TSv} = 180^\circ - 54^\circ \] \[ \text{Angle TSv} = 126^\circ \]

Thus, the measure of angle TSv is \(126\) degrees.
