Answer:


\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{x = 14 \degree}}}}

Explanation:

First , let's know about complementary angles :

  • Two angle are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90° .
  • The best way to think of a complementary angle is ' L - Pattern ' .

Now, set up an equation and solve for x :


  • \sf{x \degree + 76 \degree = 90 \degree}

Move 76° to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side ) and change it's sign


\sf{x \degree = 90 \degree - 76 \degree}


\boxed{ \bold{ \sf{x \degree = 14 \degree}}}

And we're done !

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time ! ツ

Answer:

14°

Explanation:

We know that ∠PQS is a right angle.

We also know that ∠PQR is 76°.

So, to find ∠RQS, we can do 90°-76° = 14°

x° = 14°
