Angles 1 and 3 are corresponding angles, then they are congruent, that is,

m∠3 = m∠1

Substituting with data:

m∠3 = 120°

Angles 2 and 3 are same-side interior angles, then they are supplementary, that is,

m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

Substituting with the previous value:

m∠2 + 120° = 180°

m∠2 = 180° - 120°

m∠2 = 60°

The measure of <1 is 120°, what is the measure of <2?-example-1
