Answer:

angle 1 = 76°

angle 4 = 45°

Explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • vertical angles are congruent
  • the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°
  • a linear angle is 180°
  • an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles

__

Angle 1 can be found using the fact that the sum of interior angles is 180°

∠1 +68° +36° = 180°

∠1 = 76° . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 104° from both sides

__

Finding angle 4 requires you know angle 3, which is a vertical angle to the one marked 65°. This means we have ...

∠3 +70° +∠4 = 180° . . . . . . the angles together form a linear angle

∠4 = 180° -70° -65° . . . . . . substitute 65° for ∠3

∠4 = 45°
