Angles R and S are supplementary. If the measurement of angle R is 78 degrees, what is the measurement of angle S?

Answer 1

Aaliyah Anderson

Supplementary angles have a sum of 180˚.

If supplementary angles have a sum of 180, than S = 180 - 78 = 102˚

The angle measures 102˚.

Ella Armstrong

If angles (R) and (S) are supplementary, then their measures add up to (180^\circ). Since angle (R) measures (78^\circ), to find the measure of angle (S), we subtract (78^\circ) from (180^\circ):

[ \text{Angle } S = 180^\circ - 78^\circ = 102^\circ ]

Therefore, the measure of angle (S) is (102^\circ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
