Answer:

35º

Explanation:

It says that the total degree of WXZ is 105º. If m∠2 is two times m∠1, that means that there are three total parts. You divide 105º by 3 and you get 35º. Therefore your answer is 35º

Answer:

m∠1 = 35°

Explanation:

For simplicity, let the measure of angle 1 be represented by α. Then the measure of angle 2 is 2 times that, or 2α. Those two angles together total the measure of angle WXZ, which is 105°.

α +2α = 105°

3α = 105° . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

α = 105°/3 = 35° . . . . divide by the coefficient of α

The measure of angle 1 is 35°.

_____

The measure of angle 2 is 70°.
