Exercise 23 Page 525

From the figure, we can identify a number of vertical angles.
According to the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, vertical angles are congruent. Therefore, we know that and Let's show this in our diagram. Note that is a right angle and therefore measures

To find the remaining notice that and in the figure below make up a right angle.

By adding these three angle measures and setting their sum equal to we can solve for
The last angle has a measure of
