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

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

m∠R=28°
m angle upper R equals 28 degrees

m∠R=47°

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 know:

- m∠J = 47°
- m∠W = 15°

To find m∠R, you can set up the equation:

m∠R = 180° - m∠J - m∠W

Now, substituting the known values:

m∠R = 180° - 47° - 15°
m∠R = 180° - 62°
m∠R = 118°

Thus, the measure of angle R is:

**m∠R = 118°**
