Given that $m\angle RSW = m\angle TSU$ and $m\angle RST = m\angle WSU$, we need to prove that $m\angle RST = m\angle WSU$. Note that the problem statement already has the prove statement written out, so we are probably trying to show something more interesting, such as $m\angle RSW = m\angle TSU$.

1. Problem Description

Given that mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU and mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU, we need to prove that mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU. Note that the problem statement already has the prove statement written out, so we are probably trying to show something more interesting, such as mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU.

2. Solution Steps

Given: mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU
Given: mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU
We can write the angle RSW\angle RSW as the sum of RST\angle RST and TSW\angle TSW. Similarly, we can write TSU\angle TSU as the sum of TSW\angle TSW and WSU\angle WSU. Therefore,
mRSW=mRST+mTSWm\angle RSW = m\angle RST + m\angle TSW
mTSU=mTSW+mWSUm\angle TSU = m\angle TSW + m\angle WSU
Since mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU, we can write:
mRST+mTSW=mTSW+mWSUm\angle RST + m\angle TSW = m\angle TSW + m\angle WSU
Subtract mTSWm\angle TSW from both sides:
mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU
This result is actually given, so let's try to prove the original statement that mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU given mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU.
mRSW=mRST+mTSWm\angle RSW = m\angle RST + m\angle TSW
mTSU=mTSW+mWSUm\angle TSU = m\angle TSW + m\angle WSU
Since we are given mRST=mWSUm\angle RST = m\angle WSU, we can substitute mRSTm\angle RST for mWSUm\angle WSU in the expression for mTSUm\angle TSU:
mTSU=mTSW+mRSTm\angle TSU = m\angle TSW + m\angle RST
So now we have
mRSW=mRST+mTSWm\angle RSW = m\angle RST + m\angle TSW
mTSU=mRST+mTSWm\angle TSU = m\angle RST + m\angle TSW
Since mRST+mTSW=mRST+mTSWm\angle RST + m\angle TSW = m\angle RST + m\angle TSW, we have
mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU

3. Final Answer

mRSW=mTSUm\angle RSW = m\angle TSU
