Use the relationship of angles between parallel lines.
137^(∘)
Let's consider the given diagram.
Congruent angles have the same measure, so the measure of ∠ 4 is 43^(∘). We can add this information to our diagram. Finally, note that ∠ 4 and ∠ 5 form a straight line.
These two angles are supplementary and therefore the sum of their measures is 180^(∘). With this information, we can finally find the measure of ∠ 5. m∠ 5+43^(∘)=180^(∘) ⇕ m∠ 5=137^(∘)
