Question

Write and and solve an equation to find the measure of angle SVT. make it look like a 4th grader

Answer 1

Sure! Let's create a simple problem about angle SVT that a 4th grader could understand.

**Problem:**

We have a triangle where angle SVT and angle SUT are both parts of the triangle. We know that angle SUT is 60 degrees and the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Can you find the measure of angle SVT if angle SVT is equal to angle SUT?

**Equation:**

1. We know from math that:
Measure of angle SVT + Measure of angle SUT + Measure of angle UTS = 180 degrees

2. We already know:
- Measure of angle SUT = 60 degrees

3. We will call the measure of angle SVT "x".

So, let's write our equation:
\[ x + 60 + \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 180 \]

Since we know that angle SVT is equal to angle SUT, we can also say:
\[ x = 60 \]

Now we can solve it!

**Solve the equation:**
If angle SVT = 60 degrees, we can plug it back into our equation.

Now, we'll find Measure of angle UTS:

\[ x + 60 + \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 180 \]
\[ 60 + 60 + \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 180 \]
\[ 120 + \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 180 \]

Now, subtract 120 from both sides:
\[ \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 180 - 120 \]
\[ \text{Measure of angle UTS} = 60 \]

**Final Answer:**

So, the measure of angle SVT is **60 degrees**!

**Summary:**
- Angle SVT = 60 degrees
- Angle SUT = 60 degrees
- Angle UTS = 60 degrees

(And here's a fun fact: It looks like this triangle is an equilateral triangle because all its angles are equal!)
