    The measure of angle R is 99° ⇒ Last answer

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In similar triangles

    Corresponding angles are equal in measures Corresponding sides are proportion

    ∵ Δ MNO is similar to Δ PRQ

    ∴ m∠M = m∠P

    ∴ m∠N = m∠R

    ∴ m∠O = m∠Q

    In Δ MNO

    ∵ m∠M = 23°

    ∵ m∠O = 58°

    - The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°

    ∵ m∠M + m∠N + m∠O = 180°

    ∴ 23 + m∠N + 58 = 180

    - Add the like terms in the left hand side

    ∴ 81 + m∠N = 180

    - Subtract 81 from both sides

    ∴ m∠N = 99°

    ∵ m∠R = m∠N ⇒ proved up

    ∴ m∠R = 99°
