Note that the lines cut by the transversal are parallel.
Example Solution:
m∠4=105^(∘) (Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem)
m∠5=105^(∘) (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)
m∠8=105^(∘) (Corresponding Angles Congruence Theorem)
From the diagram, we see that ∠1 and ∠4 are vertical angles. According to the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, vertical angles are congruent. Therefore, since m∠1=105^(∘), we know that m∠4=105^(∘).
To find the measure of ∠5, we can use the fact that ∠5 and ∠4 are alternate interior angles. Since the lines that are cut by the transversal are parallel, we can, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, say that
