Exercise 14 Page 274

Start by writing all of the congruence statements for the angles.

m∠ R=145^(∘)

Practice makes perfect
We are given that W X Y Z≅ P Q R S. Using this congruence relationship, we will find the measure of ∠ R. First, we can identify each pair of congruent angles. cc ∠ W≅ ∠ P & ∠ X≅ ∠ Q ∠ Y ≅ ∠ R & ∠ Z≅ ∠ S

Since ∠ Y≅ ∠ R, we know that m∠ Y = m∠ R. Let's look at the relevant information on the given diagram.

Finally, we can determine the measure of ∠ R using the known measurements. m∠ Y = 145^(∘) ⇒ m∠ R= 145^(∘)
