Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll use the idea that when angles are next to each other and share a side, we can add or subtract them to find missing measures.

Problem 1:
We see angle DAB is made of two parts: angle CAD (which we need to find) and angle CAB = 24°.
The whole angle DAB is labeled as 57°.
So:
m∠CAD + m∠CAB = m∠DAB
→ m∠CAD + 24° = 57°
→ m∠CAD = 57° - 24° =
33°
✔ Check: 33 + 24 = 57 → Correct.

Problem 2:
Angle QPS is made of two parts: angle QPR = 41° and angle RPS = 78°.
They are adjacent and together form angle QPS.
So:
m∠QPS = 41° + 78° =
119°
✔ Check: 41 + 78 = 119 → Correct.

Problem 3:
Angle UTW is a right angle (marked with square corner), so it’s 90°.
It’s split into angle UTV (what we want) and angle VTW = 37°.
So:
m∠UTV + 37° = 90°
→ m∠UTV = 90° - 37° =
53°
✔ Check: 53 + 37 = 90 → Correct.

Problem 4:
Angle XYZ is part of a straight line? Wait — look at point Y.
There’s angle XYW = 42°, and angle WYZ = 101°. But wait — those two angles are NOT on a straight line. Actually, angle XYZ is the big angle from X to Z passing through Y.
Wait — actually, looking again: points X, Y, Z — angle XYZ is the angle between rays YX and YZ.
But in the diagram, ray YW is between them. So:
m∠XYZ = m∠XYW + m∠WYZ = 42° + 101° =
143°
✔ Check: 42 + 101 = 143 → Correct.
*(Note: Sometimes diagrams show reflex angles, but here since both angles are drawn inside and adding up makes sense, we go with 143°.)*

Problem 5:
At point D, we have angle GDE = 128°, and angle FDE = 86°.
We want angle FDG — which is the difference between them.
Because angle GDE is made of angle FDG + angle FDE.
So:
m∠FDG + 86° = 128°
→ m∠FDG = 128° - 86° =
42°
✔ Check: 42 + 86 = 128 → Correct.
---
Problem 6:
At point R, angle SRU = 62°, and angle SRT = 17°.
We want angle TRU — which is the rest of the angle after removing 17° from 62°.
So:
m∠TRU = 62° - 17° =
45°
✔ Check: 17 + 45 = 62 → Correct.

Final Answer:
1) 33°
2) 119°
3) 53°
4) 143°
5) 42°
6) 45°
