Answer:

[tex]m\angle S = 35^\circ, \ m\angle T = 105^\circ,\ m\angle R = 105^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar Triangles

Lines ST and QR are parallel. Thus, angles S and Q are congruent, and angles T and R are congruent.

Considering the triangle PQR, the sum of its internal angles must be 180°:

[tex]m\angle P + m\angle Q + m\angle R = 180^\circ[/tex]

Substituting the known values:

[tex]40^\circ + 35^\circ + m\angle R = 180^\circ[/tex]

Solving for R:

[tex]m\angle R = 180^\circ - 40^\circ - 35^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle R = 105^\circ[/tex]

Angles S and Q are congruent, thus

[tex]m\angle S = 35^\circ[/tex]

Angles T and R are congruent, thus

[tex]m\angle T = 105^\circ[/tex]

Summarizing:

[tex]\mathbf{m\angle S = 35^\circ, \ m\angle T = 105^\circ,\ m\angle R = 105^\circ}[/tex]
