Solution

From your description, it seems like you're working with a diagram where two parallel streets, A and B, form various angles. Specifically, you are asked to find the measure of angle 4, given that angle 5 is 35° and angle 6 is 145°.

Let's break it down based on what we know about parallel lines and transversals:

  1. Angles 5 and 6 are consecutive interior angles formed by a transversal cutting across the two parallel streets. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180°.

    Therefore, we can write the equation: Angle 5+Angle 6=180\text{Angle 5} + \text{Angle 6} = 180^\circ Substituting the given values: 35+145=18035^\circ + 145^\circ = 180^\circ This checks out, so we have confirmed the relationship between angle 5 and angle 6.

  2. Angle 4 is an alternate interior angle to angle 5. Since angle 5 and angle 4 are alternate interior angles (which are congruent when parallel lines are involved), we know that: Angle 4=Angle 5\text{Angle 4} = \text{Angle 5} Therefore, the measure of angle 4 is also: 35\boxed{35^\circ}
