Answer:

84 degrees.

Explanation:

m < R + m < T = 123 (External angle of a triangle theorem)

m < T = 27 degrees (alternate angle to 27 degrees).

So m < R = 123 - 27 = 96 degrees.

Finally m < a = 180 - 96 = 84 degrees ( as it is adjacent to < R)

Answer:

a = 84°

Explanation:

∠ QPR and ∠ TPR are adjacent and supplementary, thus

∠TPR = 180° - 123° = 57°

Given there are parallel lines , then

∠ PTR = 27° ( alternate angle )

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ TRS is an external angle , thus

∠ TRS = a = 57° + 27° = 84°
