Exercise 52 Page 186

If the angles form a linear pair the sum of their measures is 180.

m∠ 1 = 113

Practice makes perfect

Notice that from the given statement we know that ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 form a linear pair.

By the Supplement Theorem we know that they are supplementary angles, and we get the following relation. m∠ 1+m∠ 2 = 180 Now, let's use the fact that the statement says that the measure of ∠ 2 is 67. We will substitute this into the equation and solve for m∠ 1.
m∠ 1+m∠ 2 = 180
m∠ 1+ 67 = 180
m∠ 1=113
The measure of ∠ 1 is 113.
