Solution

The measure of the angle

Alternate interior angles are "interior" (between the parallel lines), and they "alternate" sides of the transversal. Notice that they are not adjacent angles (next to one another sharing a vertex).

When the lines are parallel,

the alternate interior angles

are equal in measure.

Hence the angle in a parallel lines are said to be corresponding and equal

Therefore the measure of the angle 139°
