Given:


\angle2=123^(\circ)

To find:

The angle 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The sum of the exterior angles is supplementary.

So, we can write


\begin{gathered} \angle2+\angle7=180 \\ 123^(\circ)+\angle7=180 \\ \angle7=180-123 \\ \angle7=57^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Therefore, angle 7 is 57 degrees.

Final answer:

Angle 7 is 57 degrees.
