Answer:

measure of angle 5 = 75 degrees

Explanation:

given measure of angle 8 = 105 degrees,

angle 8 and angle 5 are in a linear pair so,

(the sum of angles in a linear pair is 180 degrees)

therefore, angle 8 + angle 5 = 180 degrees

therefore,. 105 + angle 5 = 180 degrees

angle 5 = 180 - 105

angle 5 = 75 degrees
