Transcript text: Look at this diagram:
If $\overleftrightarrow{R T}$ and $\overleftrightarrow{U W}$ are parallel lines and $m \angle T S V=128^{\circ}$, what is $m \angle W V S$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given information
We are given that \( \overleftrightarrow{RT} \) and \( \overleftrightarrow{UW} \) are parallel lines and \( m \angle TSV = 128^\circ \).
Step 2: Recognize the relationship between angles
Since \( \overleftrightarrow{RT} \) and \( \overleftrightarrow{UW} \) are parallel lines, and \( \overleftrightarrow{QV} \) is a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal. Therefore, \( m \angle TSV = m \angle WVS \).
Step 3: Calculate the measure of \( \angle WVS \)
Since \( m \angle TSV = 128^\circ \) and \( \angle TSV \) is corresponding to \( \angle WVS \), we have:
\[ m \angle WVS = 128^\circ \]
