Answer:

90

Explanation:

I started by finding angle 5

180 - 89 = 91 Supplemental angles

Then I found angle 3

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180

180-89-91 = 38

Angle2 and 3 are complementary angles

90- 38 =52

the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180

Angle 1

180 - 52 - 38 = 90

Answer: ∠1 = 90°

Explanation:

There are a few steps we will take to solve this problem. In each step, I will write an equation to help us solve, then use inverse operations to solve.

First, we will use the exterior angles theorem to find the measurement of ∠3 (this will help us solve for ∠2, then for ∠1).

89° = 51° + ∠3

∠3 = 38°

Next, we will find the measurement of ∠2 since we know ∠2 plus ∠3 is 90 degrees, as shown by the perpendicular lines and the box.

90° = ∠3 + ∠2

90° = 38° + ∠2

∠2 = 52°

Lastly, we will solve for ∠1. We know that there are 180 degrees in a triangle.

180° = 38° + ∠1 + ∠2

180° = 38° + ∠1 + 52°

180° = 90° + ∠1

∠1 = 90°
