68 degrees as well, because the angles are corresponding.

Answer: The correct option is (B) 68°.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the measure of angle 1 is 68°.

we are to find the measure of angle 5.

From the figure, we note that

lines s and t are parallel to each other and r is a transversal.

So, angles 1 and 5 are corresponding angles, and their measures must be same.

That is,


m\angle 1=m\angle 5.

Since, we have


m\angle 1=68^\circ.

So, we get


m\angle 5=68^\circ.

Thus, the measure of angle 5 is 68°.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
