Question

Use the figure to answer the question.

An illustration shows a right inclined transversal passing through two parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. Four angles are formed at the intersections of the transversal with upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of the transversal and upper M are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 1, 2, 4, and 3. The corresponding angles formed around the intersection point of upper N are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 5, 6, 8, and 7.

Angle 5 is 115°
and lines M
and N
are parallel. Find the measure of angle 2.

Answer 1

Angle 5 (upper-left at N) corresponds to angle 1 (upper-left at M), so angle 1 = 115°. Angles 1 and 2 are a linear pair, so angle 2 = 180° − 115° = 65°.

Answer: 65°.
