Answer:

7) 49°

8) 77°

9) 87°

10) 135°

Explanation:

7) The angles are between the parallel lines, so are "interior." They are on opposite sides of the transversal, so are "opposite interior" angles. Such angles are congruent, so ...

... ? ≅ 49°

8) The angles are adjacent interior angles, so are supplementary.

... ? + 103° = 180°

... ? = 77°

9) The angles are outside the parallel lines, so are "exterior." They are on opposite sides of the transversal, so are "opposite exterior" angles. Such angles are congruent.

... ? ≅ 87°

10) These are vertical angles, so are congruent. (The other parallel line is irrelevant and doesn't need to be there for this relationship to be true.)

... ? ≅ 135°
