Answer:

76 =R

Explanation:

Since the two sides are equal, this is an isosceles triangle. The means angles S and T are equal. We know that the sum of the three angles are 180 in a triangle.

R + S + T = 180

3x+1 + 2x+2 + 2x+2 = 180

Combine like terms

7x+5 = 180

Subtract 5 from each side

7x+5-5= 180-5

7x = 175

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 175/7

x=25

We want to find R

3x+1 = R

3(25)+1 = R

75+1 =R

76 =R
