Answer

a) Angle 3 = 39°

b) Angle 4 = 39°

Step-by-step explanation

Angle 1, Angle 2 and Angle 3 all form the angles of a triangle. And we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°)

97° + 44° + Angle 3 = 180°

141° + Angle 3 = 180°

Angle 3 = 180° - 141°

Angle 3 = 39°

Now, using the theory of alternate angles, we can see that if line A is parallel to line B and T is a transversal between them,

Angle 4 = Angle 3 (Alternate angles are equal)

Angle 4 = Angle 3 = 39°

Hope this Helps!!!
