Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles are complementary so the add to 90 degrees.
x+48 = 90
Subtract 48 from each side
x+48-48=90-48
The angle x°=42.
∠PQS equals 90° because it's a right angle (denoted with the square on the bottom).
∠PQS = ∠PQR + ∠RQS
So, ∠RQS = ∠PQS - ∠PQR where ∠PQR = 48°
Plug in the Values:
∠RQS = 90° - 48° = 42°
