This is a little diff to make you understand without drawing and not actually a monet's sitting at this side of the terminal
let angle RSQ = z
angle TSU = y
so we have given x+y+z = 180
stmt 1 says
RSQ=SQR=z
hence angle SQP = 180 -z
we know for the quadrilateral SQPU
angle SQP + angle SUP +x = 270
too many unknowns not suff
from two we derive angle SUP = 180 -y again alone not suff
together we have
x+y+z =180
and 180 -z + 180 -y +x = 270
enuf to find only x.
