Angle of 59° is congruent to angle 6, then:

m<6 = 59°

the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, then, you have:

m<9 + m<6 + 59 = 180

replace the value of m<6 and calculate m<9:

m<9 + 59 + 59 = 180

m<9 + 118 = 180

m<9 = 180 - 118

m<9 = 62°

angle 9 is congruent to angle 8:

m<8 = 62°

angle 8 and angle 10 are supplementary, then:

m<8 + m<10 = 180

62 + m<10 = 180

m<10 = 180 - 62

m<10 = 118°

angle 10 is congruent to angle 7:

m<7 = 118°

angles 5 and 6 are complementary, then:

m<5 + m<6 = 90

m<5 + 59 = 90

m<5 = 90 - 59

m<5 = 31°

angle 4 and 5 are congruent:

m<4 = 31°

angles 3 and 4 are complementaries:

m<3 + m<4 = 90

m<3 + 31 = 90

m<3 = 90 - 31

m<3 = 59°

m<1 = 59°

m<2 = m<11 = 31°
