To find the measure of ∠1 in the triangle shown in the image, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.

We are given two of the angles:
- One angle is 78°
- Another angle is 31°

Let's denote ∠1 as \( x \).

Using the triangle sum property:
\[
x + 78^\circ + 31^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 180^\circ - (78^\circ + 31^\circ)
\]
\[
x = 180^\circ - 109^\circ
\]
\[
x = 71^\circ
\]

So, the measure of ∠1 is 71°.
