Since two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees.
Let's denote the measure of angle QRS as y.
According to the given information, the measure of angle SRT is x, and the measure of angle QRS is x + 40.
Since the sum of the measures of the two angles is 180 degrees, we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 40) = 180
By combining like terms:
2x + 40 = 180
By subtracting 40 from both sides:
2x = 140
By dividing both sides by 2:
x = 70
Substituting the value of x into the expression for the measure of angle QRS:
y = x + 40 = 70 + 40 = 110
Therefore, the measure of angle QRS is 110 degrees.
Two angles are supplementary have measures M angle QRS equals X +40 and M angle SRT equals X what is the measure of angle QRS
