Exercise 2 Page 134

Use the relationship of angles between parallel lines.

Angle Measure: 47^(∘)
Explanation: See solution.

Let's consider the given diagram.
angles

We know that line m is parallel to line n and that the measure of ∠ 2 is 47^(∘). To find the measure of ∠ 6, we will use the fact that corresponding angles of parallel lines are congruent. Since ∠ 2 and ∠ 6 are corresponding angles and lines m and n are parallel, these angles are congruent.

Congruent angles have the same measure, so the measure of ∠ 6 is 47^(∘).
