Was about to ping u as well iluvsoccer but then i saw u here already

iluvsoccer · Answer

The angle measure of a straight line is 180 degrees.
So we have 114 degrees there and those two lines are corresponding and parallel so we just subtract 114 from 180.
180 - 114 = angle b

Thank you for your concern!

mathsucks321 · Answer

Um I tried that and got 36 but I did that for the other 2 and 3mar said it was wrong..

iluvsoccer · Answer

iluvsoccer · Answer

Those are both alternate exterior angles.
So they match up to the same thing.

If 114 is that angle, angle b is also how many degrees?

mathsucks321 · Answer

Is it 72

iluvsoccer · Answer

Nope.
It's 114 :) 
Because they are the same angles. They're corresponding.

iluvsoccer · Answer

Wait no, they're alternate interior angles as @3mar has shown above.

easy now!?

iluvsoccer · Answer

Yee! ^ 
Since they're the same angles, they also have the same angle measure.

iluvsoccer · Answer

Yep! :)

iluvsoccer · Answer

Sorry...
