​ 𝑚 ∠ 2

m∠2=
degrees

​ 𝑚 ∠ 3

m∠3=
degrees

​ 𝑚 ∠ 4

m∠4=
degrees

​ 𝑚 ∠ 5

m∠5=
degrees

What are the angle measures? m∠1 = ______ degrees m∠2 = ______ degrees m∠3 = ______ degrees m∠4 = ______ degrees m∠5 = ______ degrees

Solution

To solve for the angle measures, we can use the properties of parallel lines and triangles:

  1. m∠1: Since ∠1 and the angle marked 52° are alternate interior angles (because of the parallel lines), they are congruent.

    • m∠1 = 52°
  2. m∠2: This angle is supplementary to ∠1 because they are on the same straight line.

    • m∠2 = 180° - 52° = 128°
  3. m∠3: Since angles in a triangle add up to 180°, we can find m∠3 by adding the given 47° and m∠5 (which is vertically opposite to ∠3, hence m∠5 = m∠3).

  4. m∠4: Angle 4 is on a straight line with angle 3, making it supplementary.
