Let's go through the questions you provided in the image one by one.

Problem 12:

Question:
"The measure of the supplement of an angle exceeds 3 times the measure of the complement of the angle by 10. Find the measure of the complement."

Solution:
Let xx be the measure of the angle.

  • The supplement of the angle is 180x180^\circ - x.
  • The complement of the angle is 90x90^\circ - x.

According to the problem:
180x=3(90x)+10180^\circ - x = 3(90^\circ - x) + 10

Expand and solve for xx:
180x=2703x+10180^\circ - x = 270^\circ - 3x + 10 x+3x=270+10180- x + 3x = 270^\circ + 10 - 180^\circ 2x=1002x = 100^\circ x=50x = 50^\circ

Thus, the complement of the angle is 9050=4090^\circ - 50^\circ = 40^\circ.

Problem 15:

Question:
Given PQQRPQ \perp QR, find mPQSm \angle PQS.

Solution:
Since PQPQ is perpendicular to QRQR, PQS\angle PQS is part of a right angle.

Given that:
mPQS=x+12m \angle PQS = x + 12^\circ mQRS=432xm \angle QRS = 43^\circ - 2x

Using the fact that angles around point Q sum to 9090^\circ and substituting the given expressions will allow you to solve for xx and find the measure of PQS\angle PQS.

Problem 16:

Question:
Given:

  • 1\angle 1 is complementary to 4\angle 4.
  • 2\angle 2 is complementary to 3\angle 3.
  • RT\overline{RT} bisects SRV\angle SRV.

Prove that TR\overline{TR} bisects STV\angle STV.

Proof Outline:

  1. Complementary Angles Relationship:

    • Since 1\angle 1 is complementary to 4\angle 4 and 2\angle 2 is complementary to 3\angle 3, we have m1+m4=90m\angle 1 + m\angle 4 = 90^\circ and m2+m3=90m\angle 2 + m\angle 3 = 90^\circ.
  2. Bisected Angles:

    • RT\overline{RT} bisects SRV\angle SRV, which means m3=m4m\angle 3 = m\angle 4.
  3. Applying the Complementary Relationship:

    • Since 1+4=90\angle 1 + \angle 4 = 90^\circ and 2+3=90\angle 2 + \angle 3 = 90^\circ, and 3=4\angle 3 = \angle 4, it follows that 1=2\angle 1 = \angle 2.
  4. Conclusion:

    • Since 1=2\angle 1 = \angle 2, and 1\angle 1 is on the left side of the bisected angle and 2\angle 2 is on the right side, TR\overline{TR} must also bisect STV\angle STV.
