Answer:

80 degrees

Explanation:

What we see in this drawing is a triangle formed by three lines. In order to solve this problem, we need to know that when two lines intersect, the two angles formed are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180 degrees). For example, the 150-degree angle, and the angle right next to it (the angle on the left side of the triangle) add up to 180 degrees. This means that the left-most angle of the triangle is 180-150, which is 30 degrees

We can figure out the topmost angle of the triangle using the same method. We know that the angle outside the triangle is 130 degrees, so the angle right next to it (in this case, right below it), is 180-130, or 50 degrees.

Next, we use the fact that triangles are 180 degrees on the inside to figure out the third angle (the one on the right, right next to angle 1). We know that the other two angles are 30 and 50 degrees, and if you add that up, you get 80 degrees. The last angle, then, is 180-80, or 100 degrees.

Lastly, we know that the rightmost angle of the triangle and angle 1 add up to 180 degrees. In other words, 100+Angle1=180. Therefore, Angle 1 is 180-100 or 80 degrees.
