What is the measure of ∠s ? (1 point) m∠s= ° Skip to navigation please explain this to me in the most simple way you possibly can PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the given image, ∠s is the angle between two straight lines that are next to each other. To find the measure of this angle, you need to add up the measures of the other two angles that are next to it. The sum of these three angles should equal 180 degrees because they form a straight line.
So, to find the measure of ∠s, you need to add the measures of ∠r and ∠t and subtract the sum from 180 degrees.
For example, if ∠r = 50 degrees and ∠t = 70 degrees, you would calculate it as follows:
∠s = 180 - (∠r + ∠t)
∠s = 180 - (50 + 70)
∠s = 180 - 120
∠s = 60 degrees
Therefore, the measure of ∠s would be 60 degrees in this example.
explain it but more simple PLEASE!
Sure! To find the measure of ∠s, you just need to add up the measures of the other two angles next to it (∠r and ∠t). The total of these three angles should be 180 degrees because they form a straight line.
So, all you have to do is add ∠r and ∠t together, then subtract that total from 180. The result will give you the measure of ∠s.
what if they aren't straight??
Even if the lines aren't straight, adjacent angles are still angles that share a common side and a common vertex. To find the measure of a specific angle, you would still add up the measures of the other two angles that share a side with it and subtract the total from 180 degrees. This is because the angles are connected, either forming a straight line or sharing a side in a different way.
so I subtract 180 from the sum and that will tell me what s is
Yes, that's correct! To find the measure of angle s, you would add up the measures of the other two angles that share a side with it, and then subtract that total from 180 degrees. This will give you the measure of angle s.
can you give me a more simple method cause this is still not working
Of course! Here's a simpler method:
1. Identify the two angles that are next to angle s.
2. Add the measures of those two angles together.
3. Subtract that total from 180 degrees.
4. The result is the measure of angle s.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
