Answer:

The answer I got was 28°

Explanation:

1. Triangles add up to 180°

2. The "square" in the triangle means that angle is equal to 90°

3. Add the 90° angle with the 62° angle

4. Subtract the answer (152°) from the total (180°)

5. The answer is 28°

HAVE A NICE DAY! :D

Answer:

S = 28 degrees

Explanation:

The given angles are R = 62 and Q = 90 since there's the square showing its a right angle.

It says that R and S are complimentary which means together their total is 90 degrees. So there are two ways to do this;

R + S = 90

62 + S = 90

-62 -62

S = 28

OR

R + S + Q = 180

62 + S + 90 = 180

152 + S = 180

-152 -152

S= 28
