To solve these problems, we need to use the information given in the picture details and apply geometric principles. Let's go through each step to find the measures requested.**Step 1: Find the measure of angle W (and angle T since they are equal).**Since
is a perpendicular bisector of
, we know that
and
are right angles (90 degrees each). This means that
and
are also right angles because they are linear pairs with
and
, respectively.Given that
degrees and it is a right angle, we can set up the equation:
Solving for x:
degrees (approximately)**Step 2: Find the measure of angle XWU (and angle XUW since they are equal).**Since
degrees, we can substitute the value of x we found:
degrees (approximately)**Step 3: Find the measure of angle W (and angle T).**Since
degrees and
degrees, and
is an angle bisector of
, we know that
.But we also know that
, so we can set up the equation:
Solving for y:
degrees (approximately)Now we can find the measure of angle W:
degrees (approximately)**Step 4: Find the measure of angle VWX.**Since
, we can find
by subtracting
from
:
degrees (approximately)**Step 5: Find the measure of angle XVT.**We already have
degrees, so:
degrees (approximately)**Step 6: Find the measure of angle XVT (which is also
).**Since we already found
in the previous step, we know that:
degrees (approximately)**Step 7: Find the measure of angle XVT (which is also
).**Since we already found
in the previous step, we know that:
degrees (approximately)**Step 8: Find the measure of angle XVT (which is also
).**Since we already found
in the previous step, we know that:
degrees (approximately)**Step 9: Find the measure of angle XVT (which is also
).**Since we already found
in the previous step, we know that:\[ m
