Solution

Let me analyze the image and solve the questions for you.

Problem 1: Triangle STU\triangle STU

  • Given:
    • mS=54m\angle S = 54^\circ
    • Triangle is isosceles, so T=U\angle T = \angle U.

Solution:

  • The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180180^\circ. Thus: mS+mT+mU=180m\angle S + m\angle T + m\angle U = 180^\circ Since mT=mUm\angle T = m\angle U, let mT=mU=xm\angle T = m\angle U = x. Substituting: 54+x+x=180    2x=126    x=6354^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ \implies 2x = 126^\circ \implies x = 63^\circ
  • Therefore: mT=63,mU=63m\angle T = 63^\circ, \, m\angle U = 63^\circ

Problem 2: Triangle LMN\triangle LMN

  • Given:
    • mL=28m\angle L = 28^\circ
    • Triangle is isosceles, so M=N\angle M = \angle N.

Solution:

  • The sum of the angles of the triangle is 180180^\circ. Let mM=mN=ym\angle M = m\angle N = y. Then: 28+y+y=180    2y=152    y=7628^\circ + y + y = 180^\circ \implies 2y = 152^\circ \implies y = 76^\circ
  • Therefore: mM=76,mN=76m\angle M = 76^\circ, \, m\angle N = 76^\circ

Problem 3: Triangle EFG\triangle EFG

  • Given:
    • mE=23m\angle E = 23^\circ
    • Triangle is right, so mG=90m\angle G = 90^\circ.

Solution:

  • The sum of the angles of the triangle is 180180^\circ. Let mF=zm\angle F = z. Then: 23+90+z=180    z=6723^\circ + 90^\circ + z = 180^\circ \implies z = 67^\circ
  • Therefore: mF=67m\angle F = 67^\circ

For Side EFEF:

  • EFEF is not solvable without more information, such as trigonometric ratios or additional side lengths.

Problem 4: Triangle PQR\triangle PQR

  • Triangle is equilateral (all sides and angles are equal).

Solution:

  • In an equilateral triangle, all angles are 6060^\circ. Therefore: mP=60,mQ=60,mR=60m\angle P = 60^\circ, \, m\angle Q = 60^\circ, \, m\angle R = 60^\circ

Final Answers:

  1. mT=63,mU=63m\angle T = 63^\circ, \, m\angle U = 63^\circ
  2. mM=76,mN=76m\angle M = 76^\circ, \, m\angle N = 76^\circ
  3. mF=67m\angle F = 67^\circ, EFEF requires more data.
  4. mP=60,mQ=60,mR=60m\angle P = 60^\circ, \, m\angle Q = 60^\circ, \, m\angle R = 60^\circ

Would you like further clarification or more details? Here are some relative questions to explore:

  1. What are the properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles?
  2. How can we calculate side lengths using trigonometric ratios in a triangle?
  3. What are the conditions for identifying right triangles?
  4. How do we use the Pythagorean theorem in right triangles?
  5. Why does the sum of interior angles in a triangle always equal 180180^\circ?

Tip: Always check whether the triangle is special (e.g., isosceles, equilateral, or right) before solving!
