What is the measure of RV? Answer to the nearest tenth, 

In triangle \( \triangle PRT \), the line segments have the following measurements: 
- \( PS = 12.0 \, \text{cm} \)
- \( UV = 2.7 \, \text{cm} \)
- \( ST = 7.3 \, \text{cm} \)

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a triangle labeled \( \triangle PRT \). Inside the triangle, there is a network of additional segments and points. Points \( Q \), \( V \), and \( U \) are collinear and form a line roughly parallel to side \( PT \). The triangle and its segments display various congruences:
- Lines \( PR \) and \( RS \) are marked with a single hash, indicating they are congruent.
- Lines \( PQ \), \( QR \), and \( QS \) mark additional congruent relationships with different hash marks.
- Line \( ST \) is indicated to be congruent with another line parallel to it, sharing three hash marks.

This detailed setup demonstrates the geometric properties and relationships within \( \triangle PRT \), helping to visualize congruence and parallelism within the figure.
