Question

Triangle QRS is a right triangle.

mR = 34°

What is mQ?


A. 34°
B. 46°
C. 56°
D. 66°

Answer 1

C. 56 degrees is the correct answer.

Answer 2

C. 56°

Explanation:

The measures of a triangle all add up to 180. Since this is a right triangle, we already know one of the measures is 90 degrees. Another measure is given to us, and we need to find measure Q. So far:

mQ = ?

mR = 34°

mS = 90°

To find the remaining angle, just subtract what you already have from the total

180 - (90 + 34) = ?

180 - 124 = 56
