If M and N are parallel and angle one is 135°, what is the measure of angle two? Use the image to help. The image depicts 3 lines, one of the lines is going vertically And is slanted slightly and the other two lines are intersecting with the first line horizontally, the two lines are parallel, the first of the two lines is labeled M and the other is labeled N, there are also numbers that are positioned between the lines. The top numbers are 1 2 3 4 and the bottom numbers are 5 6 7 8
Since M and N are parallel lines, angle 1 and angle 2 are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel. So, since angle 1 is 135°, angle 2 is also 135°.
That's incorrect
I apologize for the mistake. Since angle 1 (135°) is a straight angle, we know that the sum of angle 1 and angle 2 is 180°.
Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180°
135° + Angle 2 = 180°
Angle 2 = 180° - 135°
Angle 2 = 45°
Therefore, the measure of angle 2 is 45°.
