In the support system of the bridge shown, AC = 8 ft and m∠ABC = 22°. Figure: A C S B D Q E F U V T R A quadrilateral has four labeled vertices, eight labeled points, and nine segments which divide it into ten small right triangles. Information describing the quadrilateral, segments, and smaller triangles can be found in the adjacent tabs. Quadrilateral Segments Smaller Triangles Find the following. (Hint: The smaller triangles shown in the figure are all congruent to each other.) (a) m∠RST (in degrees) ° (b) m∠ABD (in degrees) ° (c) BS (in feet) ft
