Answer 1

I can’t see the figure you’re referring to. Please either upload the picture or describe where angle 2 is located relative to the marked 63° and the two parallel lines (for example: “angle 1 is the upper right at the top intersection and angle 2 is the lower left at the bottom intersection,” or similar).

Quick guide so you can check right away:
- If angle 2 is a corresponding or an alternate interior angle to the 63° angle, then m∠2 = 63° (the statement m∠2 = 27° is false).
- If angle 2 is a linear pair (adjacent on a straight line) with the 63° angle, then m∠2 = 180° − 63° = 117° (the statement is false).
- If angle 2 is the complement of the 63° angle (they make a right angle together), then m∠2 = 90° − 63° = 27° (the statement would be true).

Send the image or a brief description of which angles are where and I’ll give the definite true/false answer and show the work.
