The figure shows a triangle with an angle bisector. Find angle SQR if the measurement of angle 2 is 13°?

If QP is an angle bisector, then angles 1 and 2 are equal because an angle bisector divides the angles into two equal angles.


\begin{gathered} m\angle1=m\angle2 \\ m\angle1=13 \end{gathered}

Then, we use the sum of angles definition.


m\angle SQR=m\angle1+m\angle2=13+13=26

Therefore, angle SQR measures 26°.
