We are given a diagram with several angles labeled. Specifically, $\angle STQ = m$, $\angle TUQ = 80^\circ$, $\angle UPQ = r$, $\angle PQU = n$, and $\angle RQT = 88^\circ$. We need to find the value of $m+n$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram with several angles labeled. Specifically, STQ=m\angle STQ = m, TUQ=80\angle TUQ = 80^\circ, UPQ=r\angle UPQ = r, PQU=n\angle PQU = n, and RQT=88\angle RQT = 88^\circ. We need to find the value of m+nm+n.

2. Solution Steps

Since RQT=88\angle RQT = 88^\circ and PQR\angle PQR is a straight angle, we have:
PQT+RQT=180 \angle PQT + \angle RQT = 180^\circ
PQT=180RQT=18088=92 \angle PQT = 180^\circ - \angle RQT = 180^\circ - 88^\circ = 92^\circ
We are given that PQU=n\angle PQU = n, so n=PQT=92n = \angle PQT = 92^\circ.
In triangle UQTUQT, we know TUQ=80\angle TUQ = 80^\circ and UQT=92\angle UQT = 92^\circ.
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ, we have:
TUQ+UQT+UTQ=180 \angle TUQ + \angle UQT + \angle UTQ = 180^\circ
80+92+UTQ=180 80^\circ + 92^\circ + \angle UTQ = 180^\circ
UTQ=1808092=8 \angle UTQ = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 92^\circ = 8^\circ
UTQ\angle UTQ and STQ=m\angle STQ = m form a straight angle.
UTQ+STQ=180 \angle UTQ + \angle STQ = 180^\circ
8+m=180 8^\circ + m = 180^\circ
m=1808=172 m = 180^\circ - 8^\circ = 172^\circ
We need to find the value of m+nm+n. We have m=172m = 172^\circ and n=92n = 92^\circ.
m+n=172+92=264 m + n = 172^\circ + 92^\circ = 264^\circ

3. Final Answer

The value of (m+n)(m+n) is 264264.
