Answer:

  • m∠R = 61.92°

------------------------------------

Use trigonometry.

Since all three sides are known, you may choose either sine, cosine or tangent.

We'll use sine here:

  • sine = opposite leg / hypotenuse
  • sin ∠R = TS/TR
  • sin ∠R = 60/68
  • sin ∠R = 0.8823
  • m∠R = arcsin 0.8823
  • m∠R = 61.92°
