1. Find angle VSP using the right angle of the rectangle

Since PQRS is a rectangle, ∠PSR=90∘\angle PSR = 90^\circ.
∠VSP=∠PSR−∠VSR=90∘−31∘=59∘\angle VSP = \angle PSR - \angle VSR = 90^\circ - 31^\circ = 59^\circ.

2. Find angle USV using the property of the diagonal of a square

Since STUV is a square, the diagonal SU bisects the right angle ∠TSV\angle TSV.
∠USV=90∘÷2=45∘\angle USV = 90^\circ \div 2 = 45^\circ.

3. Find angle PSU

∠PSU=∠VSP−∠USV=59∘−45∘=14∘\angle PSU = \angle VSP - \angle USV = 59^\circ - 45^\circ = 14^\circ.

Answer

14∘14^\circ (option 1)
