Angle 3 is 63°
because angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles.
Angle 3 is 63 degrees because angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles.

Angle 3 is 63°
because angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.
Angle 3 is 63 degrees because angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.

There is not enough information in the figure to establish this.

Angle 3 is 117°
because angle 1 and angle 3 form a line.

To determine the measure of angle 3 based on the information given, we need to identify the relationship between angle 1 and angle 3.

  1. If angle 3 is corresponding to angle 1 in a situation involving parallel lines cut by a transversal, then angle 3 would also be 63° because corresponding angles are equal.

  2. If angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles, they are also equal, meaning angle 3 would be 63°.

  3. If angle 1 and angle 3 form a linear pair (meaning they are supplementary and add up to 180°), then angle 3 would be 117° (180° - 63°).

Without a specific picture to analyze, we can't definitively determine the relationship. However, the most likely responses, given typical geometric scenarios, would either be stating that angle 3 is 63° due to corresponding angles or vertical angles, or 117° if they form a line.

If I had to choose based on common geometric relationships and assuming angle 1 is either corresponding to or vertical with respect to angle 3, I would say:

  • Angle 3 is 63° because angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles.

or

  • Angle 3 is 63° because angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.

Otherwise, if angle 1 and angle 3 form a linear relationship, then:

  • Angle 3 is 117° because angle 1 and angle 3 form a line.

Thus, without the visual, the best response is one affirming the equality due to either correspondence or vertical angles, or the supplementary nature if they form a line.
