Answer: <1 = 105° and <2 = 75°

Explanation:

The information we have is the 75 degree angle already provided. Using our knowledge on transverses we know a 180 degree angle is a straight line (we happen to have two of these (c and d)). Using the corresponding angle theorem we know angle 2 is equivalent to 75 degrees. Supplementary angles refer to angles that add up to 180 degrees. Angle 1 and 2 are supplementary so from there we solve.

180 - 75 = 105

<1 = 105 degrees
