Math Problem Statement

Solve for m, angle, P, Q, Sm∠PQS if m, angle, P, Q, R, equals, 104, degreesm∠PQR=104 ∘ and m, angle, S, Q, R, equals, 56, degreesm∠SQR=56 ∘ .

Solution

Given the angles in the problem, we need to solve for the measure of PQS\angle PQS.

The angles involved are:

  • mPQR=104m\angle PQR = 104^\circ
  • mSQR=56m\angle SQR = 56^\circ

To solve for mPQSm\angle PQS, we can use the fact that mPQS=mPQRmSQRm\angle PQS = m\angle PQR - m\angle SQR.

Solution:

mPQS=mPQRmSQRm\angle PQS = m\angle PQR - m\angle SQR

Substituting the given values:

mPQS=10456m\angle PQS = 104^\circ - 56^\circ

mPQS=48m\angle PQS = 48^\circ

Final Answer:

The measure of PQS\angle PQS is 4848^\circ.
