has angle J
measuring 47°
and angle W
measuring 15°
. What is the measure of angle R
?(1 point)
Responses

m∠R=47°
m angle upper R equals 47 degrees

m∠R=118°
m angle upper R equals 118 degrees

m∠R=62°
m angle upper R equals 62 degrees

m∠R=28°

Answer 1

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

You have:
- \( m∠J = 47° \)
- \( m∠W = 15° \)

Now, you can calculate \( m∠R \) as follows:

\[
m∠R = 180° - m∠J - m∠W
\]
\[
m∠R = 180° - 47° - 15°
\]
\[
m∠R = 180° - 62°
\]
\[
m∠R = 118°
\]

So the measure of angle R is \( m∠R = 118° \).

The correct response is:

- **m∠R = 118°**
