Let's begin by making a rough sketch of the map, highlighting the red streets.

Since all of the streets are straight angles, we can identify some linear pairs. Let's look for linear pairs one street at a time.

Street

Following street we can find three pairs.
Linear pairs are supplementary angles, so the sum of each pair will be We can subtract the known values from to find the missing values.

Streets and

Following along streets and we find two more linear pairs.
Both and are right angles, so their supplements are also right angles. Let's mark the angles that we have found.

Street

Now, along street we can find another four linear pairs.
These angles are all because the supplement to a right angle is also a right angle, similar to the previous two streets.

Street

Street is a straight angle, so the sum of and is

Finding the Congruent Angles

Now that we found the measures of the angles in the map, we can figure out which ones are congruent. There's a cluster of right angles along Since they are all they are all congruent.
Next, let's look at the angles around point

Two angles measure and two angles measure Each pair of these angles are congruent. Therefore, and

Looking to the north of the map, we can see that two angles measure and They are also congruent. There are no more congruent angles that are directly shown on our map. However, look at and The sum of their measures is Therefore, and are congruent too!
