Answer:

The measure of angle s is 22°

Explanation:

Given:

  • Horizontal lines A and B are parallel and are intersecting because a line is going through the both of them.
  • Top right angle of line A is labeled to be 158°, while the top left angle in line B is labeled S° indicating this variable is the missing degrees.

To find:

  • The angle of S, in degrees.

∠1 and 158° are both on a straight line and supplementary.

(Supplementary angles are those angles that sum up to 180 degrees. )

So solving,

⇒ ∠1=180°-158°=22° ....> Angles ∠1 and S are interior angles

Due to lines A and B being parallel, all interior lines are equal.

As a result, the answer is therefore 22°.
