Answer:

∠1 = 62°

∠2 = 118°

∠3 = 62°

∠4 = 118°

Explanation:

Notice that ∠5 is an internal angle, because it's between the parallels.

∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles, becasue they are at the same side of the transveral, and one is internal and the other external. So, ∠1 = 62°.

∠2 and ∠1 are supplementary angles, because they are on a straight angle, so if ∠1 = 62°, then ∠2 = 180° - 62° = 118°.

∠3 and ∠1 are vertical angles, because they have a vertex in common only. So, they are congruent, which means ∠3 = 62°.

Finally, ∠4 and ∠2 are vertical angles, so they are congruent. ∠4 = 118°.

If < 5 is 62 degrees, find the measures of the other 4 missing angles. < 1 = _____ &lt-example-1
