Question

What is the measure of angle 1?

2 parallel lines are crossed by a transversal to form 8 angles. Clockwise from top left, the angles are blank, 92 degrees, blank, blank; blank, 2, 1, blank.
A.86°
B.88°
C.90°
92°

Answer 1

92°

Explanation:

because 1 is parallel to the 92°

Answer 2

88 degrees

Explanation:

Angle 2 will be equal to 92 degrees since they are corresponding angles

Since angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair,

the sum of angle 1 and 2 will be 180 degrees, and since we know the measure of angle 2, we can find the measure of angle 1

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180

angle 1 = 180 - 92

angle 1 = 88 degrees
