∠ RST is the angle created by the two rays SR and ST.
42^(∘)
Practice makes perfect
The equation m∠ RST=114^(∘) tells us that the angle between the two rays, SR and ST, is 114^(∘). Similarly, ∠ RSV is the angle between rays SR and ST. Let's mark these three angles in two different figures.
From the figures, we can see that the sum of ∠ RSV and 72^(∘) is 114^(∘).
∠ RSV+72^(∘)=114^(∘)
Let's solve the equation to find ∠ RSV.
