Answer:

Angle S is 28 degrees.

Explanation:

You know angle R is 62 degrees and that angle Q is 90 degrees because the angle is marked by a teeny square (as I like to call it). You ten can add these two angles together and you will get the angle of 152 degrees. And as you should know that all angles of a triangle added together are 180 degrees you just take 180 degrees and subtract it with the two known angles added together. Thus you know that the final answer to S is 28 degrees.
