Answer:

∠ q = 30°

Explanation:

given Δ pqr ≅ Δ stu , then

corresponding angles are congruent

that is ∠ p = ∠ s = 70°

the sum of the angles in Δ pqr = 180° , that is

∠ p + ∠ q + ∠ r = 180°

substitute ∠ r = 80° and ∠ p = 70°

70° + ∠ q + 80° = 180°

∠ q + 150° = 180° ( subtract 150° from both sides )

∠ q = 30°
