Answer:

76 degrees

Explanation:

this special line is an angle bisected.

that means it splits the angle at its starting point in 2 halves. as these names indicate, both parts are of equal size (half of the general angle).

we know one part (2) of this split angle : 38 degrees.

the other part (1) had to be equally sized : 38 degrees.

so, the total angle at point R is the sum of both split angles:

TRS = 38+38 = 76 degrees.
