if lines m and n are parallel and the measure of angle 3 is 45 what is the measure of 8

A figure must go with this question, which shows where angles 3 and 8 are located.

Is "8" an angle number or a measure? You may have left out some words.

Without that figure, I cannot answer your question.

To find the measure of angle 8, we need to use the fact that lines m and n are parallel. When two lines are parallel, the alternate interior angles formed by a transversal (in this case, angles 3 and 8) are congruent. Since the measure of angle 3 is given as 45 degrees, we can conclude that the measure of angle 8 is also 45 degrees.
