Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of ∠YVX. Given: ∠ZVY = 52°, ∠WVZ = 36°, ∠UVX = 43°.

Solution

To find the measure of angle ∠YVX, we need to use the fact that the angles around point VV form a full circle, which sums up to 360°.

From the diagram, the following angles are given:

  • ∠ZVY = 52°
  • ∠WVZ = 36°
  • ∠UVX = 43°

Since the angles around point VV must add up to 360°, we can use this equation:

∠YVX+∠ZVY+∠WVZ+∠UVX=360°\text{∠YVX} + \text{∠ZVY} + \text{∠WVZ} + \text{∠UVX} = 360°

Substituting the known values:

∠YVX+52°+36°+43°=360°\text{∠YVX} + 52° + 36° + 43° = 360°

Now, simplify the right-hand side:

∠YVX+131°=360°\text{∠YVX} + 131° = 360°

Solve for ∠YVX:

∠YVX=360°131°=229°\text{∠YVX} = 360° - 131° = 229°

Finally, subtract ∠ZVY + ∠WVZ (since they share a line):
