Question

Triangle J R W has ankle J measuring 47° with angle W measuring 15 degrees what is the measure of angle r

Answer 1

To find the measure of angle R in triangle JRW, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

We know that angle J measures 47 degrees and angle W measures 15 degrees. Let's call the measure of angle R as "x".

So, the sum of the angles is:

47 degrees + x + 15 degrees = 180 degrees

Combine like terms:

x + 62 degrees = 180 degrees

Subtract 62 degrees from both sides of the equation:

x = 180 degrees - 62 degrees

x = 118 degrees

Therefore, the measure of angle R in triangle JRW is 118 degrees.
