Answer:

The measure of angle R is 112 degrees

Explanation:

Using the given markings, we can see that we have an isosceles triangle

so RT is also 3x-2

Mathematically, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180:

Thus;

9x + 4 + (3x-2) + (3x-2) = 180

9x + 3x +3x + 4-2-2 = 180

15x = 180

x = 180/15

x = 12

Recall; Angle R is 9x + 4

= 9(12) + 4 = 108 + 4 = 112
