1. Problem Description

The problem gives a circle with inscribed angles STV\angle STV and SUV\angle SUV. The measures of these angles are given as mSTV=(3x6)m\angle STV = (3x-6)^\circ and mSUV=(2x+10)m\angle SUV = (2x+10)^\circ. We are asked to find the measure of SUV\angle SUV.

2. Solution Steps

Since angles STV\angle STV and SUV\angle SUV intercept the same arc, SV\stackrel{\frown}{SV}, the inscribed angle theorem states that they are equal in measure.
mSTV=mSUVm\angle STV = m\angle SUV
Substitute the expressions for the angle measures:
3x6=2x+103x - 6 = 2x + 10
Solve for xx:
3x2x=10+63x - 2x = 10 + 6
x=16x = 16
Now substitute the value of xx into the expression for mSUVm\angle SUV:
mSUV=2x+10m\angle SUV = 2x + 10
mSUV=2(16)+10m\angle SUV = 2(16) + 10
mSUV=32+10m\angle SUV = 32 + 10
mSUV=42m\angle SUV = 42

3. Final Answer

42
