1. **Problem statement:** We have a parallelogram PQRS and a rhombus RSTU with S on OT. Given \(\angle QPS = 66^\circ\) and \(\angle RTU = 37^\circ\), find \(\angle PSO\). 2. **Key properties:** - In parallelogram PQRS, opposite sides are parallel and equal. - In rhombus RSTU, all sides are equal and opposite angles are equal. - Since S lies on OT, points O, T, S are collinear. 3. **Analyze parallelogram PQRS:** - \(\angle QPS = 66^\circ\) is given. - Since PQRS is a parallelogram, \(\angle PSQ = \angle QPS = 66^\circ\) because adjacent angles in parallelogram are supplementary and opposite angles are equal. 4. **Analyze rhombus RSTU:** - \(\angle RTU = 37^\circ\) is given. - In rhombus, adjacent angles are supplementary, so \(\angle RST = 180^\circ - 37^\circ = 143^\circ\). 5. **Find \(\angle PSO\):** - Since S lies on OT, and O, T, S are collinear, \(\angle PSO\) is the angle between PS and SO. - Note that \(\angle PSO = 180^\circ - \angle RST = 180^\circ - 143^\circ = 37^\circ\). **Final answer:** $$\boxed{37^\circ}$$
