Math Problem Statement

Which angles are supplementary angles in the diagram with parallel lines PR and SU?

Solution

The given image involves two parallel lines, PR\overleftrightarrow{PR} and SU\overleftrightarrow{SU}, with a transversal line intersecting them. We are tasked with determining which angles are supplementary.

In geometry, supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180180^\circ. Given the parallel lines, we can use the concept of consecutive interior angles, which are supplementary when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.

Upon examining the angles:

  • UTV\angle UTV and STQ\angle STQ are consecutive interior angles formed by the transversal QT\overleftrightarrow{QT}, so they are supplementary.

Thus, the correct answer is:

  • UTV\angle UTV and STQ\angle STQ are supplementary angles.
