1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram with some angles labeled. We are given that 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

First, we know that RQT\angle RQT is an exterior angle to triangle PQUPQU at vertex QQ. Therefore, RQT=UPQ+PUQ\angle RQT = \angle UPQ + \angle PUQ. Also, we are given that RQT=88\angle RQT = 88^\circ and PQU=n\angle PQU = n, UPQ=r\angle UPQ = r, and PUQ=80\angle PUQ = 80^\circ
88=r+n88^\circ = r + n (Exterior Angle Theorem on triangle PQUPQU considering exterior angle RQT\angle RQT at vertex QQ, but it is of no use to us)
Since RQTRQT is a straight line, we have PQR+RQT=180\angle PQR + \angle RQT = 180^\circ, so PQR=18088=92\angle PQR = 180^\circ - 88^\circ = 92^\circ. Since PQU=n\angle PQU = n, we have n=18088=92n = 180^\circ - 88^\circ = 92^\circ. Then PQR=n=9288=18088=92\angle PQR = n = 92^\circ - 88^\circ = 180-88=92. Thus n+88=180n+88 = 180, so n=92n = 92.
Also, TUQ=80\angle TUQ = 80^\circ. The sum of angles in triangle STQSTQ is 180180^\circ.
Therefore, m+n+TSQ=180m + n + \angle TSQ = 180^\circ.
Since STQ=m\angle STQ = m, TQU=80\angle TQU= 80^\circ, and RQT=88\angle RQT=88^\circ, it is not obvious what TSQ\angle TSQ is equal to.
Since PQRPQR is a straight line, we have PQU+RQT=180\angle PQU + \angle RQT = 180. Hence,
n+88=180n + 88^\circ = 180^\circ.
n=18088=92n = 180^\circ - 88^\circ = 92^\circ.
In triangle UTQUTQ, we have TUQ=80\angle TUQ = 80^\circ and TQU=n\angle TQU = n. Also, UTQ=180(n+80)\angle UTQ = 180-(n+80). In STQ\triangle STQ, we have STQ=mSTQ = m, SQT=n\angle SQT = n, and QTS=180(m+n)\angle QTS = 180 - (m+n). Thus QTS=180(n+m)\angle QTS=180-(n+m).
Since the straight line ST is tangent to T, we have that
STQ+QTU=STU=180\angle STQ + \angle QTU = \angle STU = 180.
We note that TUQ+UTS=180\angle TUQ + \angle UTS = 180. Thus UTS=18080=100\angle UTS = 180 - 80 = 100.
Also STQ+UTS=m+UTS\angle STQ + \angle UTS = m + UTS.
However, we have SQT+TQR=SQR\angle SQT + \angle TQR = \angle SQR
Consider UTQ\triangle UTQ. We have TUQ=80\angle TUQ = 80^\circ and TQU=n\angle TQU = n. Then UTQ=180(80+n)\angle UTQ = 180^\circ - (80^\circ + n). Since STQ=m\angle STQ = m and UTSUTS is a straight line, we have STQ+UTQ=180\angle STQ + \angle UTQ = 180^\circ. So m+180(80+n)=180m + 180^\circ - (80^\circ + n) = 180^\circ. So m+18080n=180m + 180 - 80 -n = 180. Thus, mn=80180=100m - n = 80-180 = -100.
mn=100m-n=-100. Since n=18088=92n=180-88=92, m=n100=92100=8m=n-100 = 92 -100 = -8. This is absurd.
We know n+88=180n + 88 = 180, so n=92n = 92.
Consider STQ\triangle STQ. The sum of the angles is

8

0. Hence, $\angle STQ + \angle SQT + \angle TSQ = m + n + \angle TSQ = 180$.

In triangle UTQUTQ, UTQ=180(80+n)\angle UTQ = 180 - (80+n). Also, STU=180\angle STU = 180, so UTQ+m=180\angle UTQ+m = 180, meaning UTQ=100\angle UTQ = 100.
So 100=18080n=100n100 = 180-80-n = 100-n thus n=0n = 0. This is also impossible.
Given that RQT=88\angle RQT = 88, and RQT\angle RQT is an exterior angle to triangle PQUPQU at vertex QQ, RQT=QPU+PUQ=r+80\angle RQT = \angle QPU + \angle PUQ = r + 80. Therefore, r+80=88r + 80 = 88, so r=8r=8.
In triangle PQUPQU, r+n+80=180r+n+80=180. Since r=8r=8, 8+n+80=1808+n+80 = 180. Thus n=180880=92n = 180-8-80 = 92.
Consider straight line STST. Then STU=180\angle STU=180, thus 18080=100180-80 = 100. The interior angle UTQ\angle UTQ must be a total of 180180 degrees. 180100=UTQ=80180 -100 = \angle UTQ = 80
We have STQ=m,QTU=80STQ = m, \angle QTU=80, and since STUSTU is a straight line, $TSU=180-80 = 100 degrees.
In triangle STQSTQ, we have m+n+x=180m+n+x = 180, UTQ=100\angle UTQ=100 so m + 80 =

0. So, STQ must be equal to 180 -100 which gives 80-92+80 =

2. Angle TSQ = m +

Let QTU=x\angle QTU = x. Then, x=180mx=180- m. Because QTU=100\angle QTU = 100. Since U is a point on line TS, that UTQ+=180=SUTQ + =180 = S. Thus m S+88 100 = TSQ 180, thus the angles need to be used 8 = UTU. Q T P = A 93767 = 2686 and + m = I7 369
