The student may have used mathematical reasoning about lines to figure out the measure of QRS but used incorrect reasoning to determine that the measure of QRS was equal to the sum of QRT and URS. A line is 180. The first sentence states, QRS is a line; therefore, the measure of QRS = 180. QRS QRT + URS 180 = 180 = 180 QRT + URS 180 The student may have used mathematical reasoning about lines to figure out the measure of QRS and then set up a multi-step equation to find the measure of TRU. QRS = 180 ; QRT = 20 ; URS = 135 ; TRU = 20 + + 135 = 180 20 + 135 + = 180 155 + = 180 = 180 155 = 25 Measure of TRU = 25 79
