To find the measure of angle T, we first notice that angles R and L are corresponding angles in the similar triangles, meaning they are in the same position in both triangles. Since we know the measure of angle R is 62° and the measure of angle L is 20°, we can use the corresponding angle property to find the measure of angle T.
The sum of corresponding angles in similar triangles is equal to 180°, so angle T is:
m∠T = 180° - m∠R - m∠L
m∠T = 180° - 62° - 20°
m∠T = 98°
Therefore, the measure of angle T is 98°.
