SOLUTION

Step 1 :

In this question, we are told that line A is parallel to line B.

m < 2 : = 63 degrees

m < 9 : = 105 degrees

Step 2 :

From the diagram , we can see that :

m < 3 = m < 8 ( CORRESPONDING ANGLES ARE EQUAL )

But m < 8 + m < 9 = 180 degrees ( Angles on a straight line )

m < 8 + 105 = 180

m < 8 = 180 - 105

m < 8 = 75 degrees

Step 3 :

Since m < 8 = 75 degrees , then

m < 3 = 75 degrees ( CORRESPONDING ANGLES ARE EQUAL ).

CONCLUSION :

The measure of m < 3 = 75 degrees.
