I'm super lost...

Answer 5

Okay since line r is parallel to line t it means that measures 2,4,5,6 are equal to measures 1,3,7, and m<135. Since this is the case M<135 is equal to m<5 meaning they are going to be thee same measures.

Answer 6

Do you get it

Answer 7

Kind of.. What does m mean though?

Answer 8

So your answer would be 135? I was doing some strange thing by taking 180-135= giving my answer got me confused.

Answer 9

m stands for the measure of

Answer 10

So the answer would be 45??? Or 135?

Answer 11

Im sorry the answer would be 135. It wouldn't be 45 because that would be the measure of angle 7. But using angle 7 and knowing that its the same as angle 6 you could subtract 45 from 180 and then you would get what angle 5 is

Answer 12

Oh right because angle 5 is the rest of the 180 degrees?

Answer 15

the angle 135 and angle 5 are external alternate angles and are eequal

Answer 16
