In PQR\triangle PQR, P\angle P and Q\angle Q are congruent. The measure of R\angle R is 118.6118.6^{\circ}. What is the measure of Q\angle Q?

Let each congruent angle measure xx^{\circ}. Then 2x+118.6=1802x + 118.6 = 180, so x=180118.62=30.7x = \dfrac{180 - 118.6}{2} = 30.7^{\circ}.

In a triangle, mP=105m\angle P = 105^{\circ} and mQ=28.m\angle Q = 28^{\circ}\textsf{.} What is mR?m\angle R\textsf{?}

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.180^{\circ}\textsf{.} So mR=18010528=47.m\angle R = 180^{\circ} - 105^{\circ} - 28^{\circ} = 47^{\circ}\textsf{.}

In XYZ\triangle XYZ, X\angle X and Z\angle Z are congruent. The measure of Y\angle Y is 52.652.6^{\circ}. What is the measure of X\angle X?

The two congruent angles share the remainder equally: 18052.62=63.7\dfrac{180^{\circ} - 52.6^{\circ}}{2} = 63.7^{\circ}.

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 3737^{\circ} and 84.84^{\circ}\textsf{.} What is the measure of the remaining angle?

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.180^{\circ}\textsf{.} The remaining angle measures 1803784=59.180^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} - 84^{\circ} = 59^{\circ}\textsf{.}
