Because of the given information angles 3 and 5 are considered alternate interior angles. Think alternate because they are on opposite sides and interior because they are on the inside.

These types of angles are congruent, therefore if m<5 = 58, then m<3 would also = 58.

If d is a transversal of parallel v and w, the angles 3 and 5 are alternate interior. Therefore, they are congruent. Angle 3 and 5 both measure 58.
