According to the given problem,


\angle7=131^(\circ)

Note: When two lines are intersecting, then the pair of vertivally opposite angles are always equal.

Since the angles 1 and 7 are vertically opposite angles formed due to the intersection of lines 'p' and 'r'. So they must also be equal,


\begin{gathered} \angle1=\angle7 \\ \angle1=131^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Thus, the angle 1 measures 131 degrees.
