Answer:

m∠Q=115°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have from the diagrams that:

m∠N =20 degrees, m∠P = 45 degrees.

Angle L is congruent to Angle P, therefore:

m∠P = m∠L = 45 degrees

Similarly, Angle N is congruent to Angle R, therefore:

m∠N = m∠R =20 degrees.

In Triangle PQR

m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R =180 degrees (Sum of angles in a triangle)

45°+m∠Q+20°=180°

m∠Q+65°=180°

m∠Q=180°- 65°

m∠Q=115°

The measure of Angle Q is 115 degrees.
