Two angles are supplementary and have measures MQRS equals X +40 and MSRT equals X what is the measure of QRS
If two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees. Let's set up an equation using this information:
X + 40 + X = 180
Combining like terms:
2X + 40 = 180
Subtracting 40 from both sides:
2X = 140
Dividing by 2:
X = 70
Since QRS is equal to X + 40, we substitute in the value we found for X:
QRS = 70 + 40
QRS = 110
Therefore, the measure of QRS is 110 degrees.
