Data:

l and m are parallel lines

QR and ST are perpendicular in R

Angle 1 is 63°

The angle formed by perpendicular lines is a right angle (90°)

Angles 1 and 3 are alternate angles: angles that occur on opposite sides of a transversal line that is crossing two parallel.

Alternate angles are congruent, have the same measure.

$\begin{gathered} m\angle1=m\angle3 \\ \\ m\angle3=63 \end{gathered}$

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°. In triangle QRT:

$\begin{gathered} m\angle2+m\angle3+90=180 \\ \\ m\angle2+63+90=180 \\ \\ m\angle2+153=180 \end{gathered}$

Use the equation above to find the measure of angle 2:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Subtract 153 in both sides of the equation:} \\ m\angle2+153-153=180-153 \\ \\ m\angle2=27 \end{gathered}$ Then, the measure of angle 2 is 27°

Answer:

<h2>Kelly is wrong, with this congruent parts, we can conclude that triangles are congruent.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To demonstrate congruent triangles, we need to use the proper postulates. There are at least 5 postulates we can use.

Angle-Angle-Side Theorem (AAS theorem).
Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem (HL theorem).
Side-Side-Side Postulate (SSS postulate).
Angle-Side-Angle Postulate (ASA postulate).
Side-Angle-Side Postulate (SAS postulate).

In this case, Kelly SAS postulate, because the corresponding sides-angles-sides are congruent, i.e., KL ≅ MN and LM ≅ KN, also, all corresponding angles are congruent.

So, as you can see, only using SAS postulate, the congruency can be demonstrated. (Refer to the image attached to see an example of SAS postulate)
