We know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore,
m∠UVW + m∠WUV + m∠VWX = 180
Substituting the given values, we get:
(x+19) + (x+13) + (5x+14) = 180
Simplifying the equation, we get:
7x + 46 = 180
Subtracting 46 from both sides:
7x = 134
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 19
Now, we can find m∠WUV:
m∠WUV = x + 13 = 19 + 13 = 32 degrees.
Therefore, m∠WUV is 32 degrees.
