Answer

m$\angle$VPS=168$^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The interior angles of a regular pentagon have a measure of 108 degrees. m$\angle$VQP=108-m$\angle$PQR m$\angle$VQP=108-60=48 m$\angle$VPQ=.5(180-m$\angle$VQP) m$\angle$VPQ=.5(132)=66 m$\angle$RPS=m$\angle$VPQ=66 m$\angle$VPS=360-m$\angle$RPS-m$\angle$VPQ-m$\angle$QPR m$\angle$VPS=360-66-66-60 m$\angle$VPS=168$^{\circ}$
