Answer:

m∠1 = 75° m∠2 =45° m∠3 = 60°

Explanation:

m∠1 = 180 - { (180 - 135) + (180 - 120) }

m∠1 = 180 - { 45 + 60 }

m∠1 = 75°

The angle between 1 and 3, lets call it x, is vertically opposite to ∠2, so we must find it first to be able to get ∠2

Since a ║b

Therefore ∠x and ∠135 are co-interior angles

Therefore ∠x = 180-135

m∠x = 180 - 135

m∠x = 45°

∠2 = ∠x (Vertically opposite angles)

∠2 = 45°

Between ∠2 and ∠3 there is an angle, let's call it z.

∠z = ∠1 (Vertically opposite angles)

∠z = 75°

Since the sum of angles 2, z and 3 = 180° (Straight angle)

Therefore m∠3 = 180 - (∠2 + ∠z)

m∠3 = 180 - (45 + 75)

m∠3 = 60°

Or in a different way

∠2 + ∠z + ∠3 = 180

45 + 75 + ∠3 = 180

120 + ∠3 = 180

∠3 = 180 - 120

∠3 = 60°

Hope it helps
