Since the angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees.
So, (x+16) + (3x) = 180 degrees.
Combining like terms, we get 4x + 16 = 180.
Subtracting 16 from both sides, we have 4x = 164.
Dividing both sides by 4, we find x = 41.
Substituting x = 41 into the measure of SRT, we get m SRT = 3(41) = 123 degrees.
Therefore, the measure of SRT is 123 degrees.
Two angles are supplementary. They have the following measures: m QRS= (x+16) degrees and m SRT= (3x) degrees. What is the measure of SRT?
