Question

Help picture below problem 9

Answer 1

Solution :-

Here, we have been given that lines f and g are parallel. Thus, the angle measuring 135° and ∠2 are vertically opposite angles.

And we know that vertically opposite angles measure same. Thus,

∠2 = 135°

And,

∠2 + ∠6 = 180° ( Co - interior angles sum up to 180° )

135° + ∠6 = 180°

∠6 = 180° - 135°

∠6 = 45°

Now,

we see that ∠6 and ∠5 are making a linear pair of angles, and we know that angles in a linear pair measure 180° Thus,

∠5 + 45° = 180°

∠5 = 180° - 45°

∠5 = 135°

Thus, the value of angle 5 is 135°

Hope that helps. :)
