Question

For the illustration shown the measure of angle 1 is 97 degrees the measure of 2 is 44 degrees and the measure of angle 5 is 105 degrees?

Answer 1

In the illustration shown, angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles, which are congruent. Therefore, if angle 1 is 97 degrees, then angle 2 is also 97 degrees.

Since angles 2 and 5 are corresponding angles, they are congruent as well. Therefore, angle 5 is also 97 degrees.

Therefore, the correct measure of angle 5 should be 97 degrees, not 105 degrees as stated in the question.
