Angles 2 and 5 are vertical angles, then they are congruent, that is,

m∠5 = m∠2

m∠5 = 63°

Angles 8 and 9 are supplementary, then their addition is equal to 180°.

m∠8 + m∠9 = 180°

m∠8 + 105° = 180°

m∠8 = 180° - 105°

m∠8 = 75°

Angles 5, 8 and 11 make a triangle. The addition of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, then:

m∠8 + m∠5 + m∠11 = 180°

75° + 63° + m∠11 = 180°

m∠11 = 180° - 75° - 63°

m∠11 = 42°
