∠11 and the angle that measures 59° are complementary, then:

m∠11 + 59° = 90°

m∠11 = 90° - 59°

m∠11 = 31°

Angles 9, 6, and the one that measures 59° form an isosceles triangle, this means that:

m∠6 = 59°

m∠6 + 59° + m∠9 = 180°

59° + 59° + m∠9 = 180°

m∠9 = 180° - 2*59°

m∠9 = 62°

∠9 and ∠8 are vertical angles, then:

m∠8 = m∠9

m∠8 = 62°

∠1, ∠3 and ∠8 form an isosceles triangle. ∠1 and ∠3 are congruent. This means that:

m∠1 = m∠3

and:

m∠1 + m∠3 + m∠8 = 180°

m∠1 + m∠1 + m∠8 = 180°

2m∠1 + 62° = 180°

2m∠1 = 180° - 62°

m∠1 = 118°/2

m∠1 = 59°

m∠3 = 59°

∠2, ∠11 and ∠10 form an isosceles triangle. ∠2 and ∠11 are congruent. This means that:

m∠2 = m∠11

m∠2 = 31°

m∠2 + m∠11 + m∠10 = 180°

31° + 31° + m∠10 = 180°

m∠10 = 180° - 2*31°

m∠10 = 118°

∠10 and ∠7 are vertical angles, then:

m∠7 = m∠10

m∠7 = 118°

Similarly to before, ∠4 and ∠5 are congruent with ∠2 and ∠11, then

m∠4 = m∠11

m∠4 = 31°

m∠5 = m∠11

m∠5 = 31°
