MEDAL TO CORRECT ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we write down what we know then we get this:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pressing draw but it doesn't work, never mind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45 degrees the angles are supplementary

OpenStudy (jaredstone4):

Okay, so we know that m<7 = 135. From that, you know the m<5 AND m<3 are both equal to 135 as well, because 5&7 are vertical angles and 5&3 are alternate interior angles. Then, as plohrr just said, 3&4 are supplementary angles. So, m<3 + m<4 = 180 (or m<4 = 180- m<3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its easier to say angle 7 is congruent to angle 3, and angle 3 is supplementary to angle 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle 3's measure is 135 just like angle 7. then just subtract 180-135 to get 45.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take two. If we write in what we know then we get this (image) We know that angle 4 is supplementary to the angle of 135. Therefore we can say that angle 8 is 45 degrees. We can now say that the angle labelled with a question mark is the same as that of 8. This is because the lines A and B are parallel and the line t which they connect to is the same line in each case. We can therefore say that angle 4 (the question mark one in mine) is 45 degrees.
