Final answer:

Angle 1 and Angle 2 are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. The question does not provide enough information to determine the measure of Angle 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 and Angle 2 are supplementary, which means that they add up to 180 degrees. Let's assume that the measure of Angle 1 is x degrees. Therefore, Angle 2 would be 180 - x degrees.

Since we know that Angle 1 and Angle 2 are supplementary, we can set up the equation x + (180 - x) = 180. Simplifying this equation, we get:

x + 180 - x = 180

180 = 180

This equation is true for any value of x. Therefore, there are infinite solutions for the measure of Angle 1. The correct answer would be (c) No, because we cannot determine the exact measure of Angle 1 without more information.
