Answer: m∠S=141°

Explanation:

Here, we need to know the definition of supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°. If you need a more detailed graphical explanation, please refer to the attachment below.

Given

m∠R=39°

Solve

Given

m∠R + m∠S=180

Substitute value

39 + m∠S=180

Subtract 39 on both sides

39 + m∠S - 39=180 - 39

m∠S=141

Hope this helps!! :)
