Respuesta :

It will be 3. 72 is your answer

Given the diagram given where lines n and p are parallel, and transversals r and s are perpendicular, the measure of angle 1 is: [tex]\mathbf{1) 51^{\circ}}[/tex]

The angle measure where two perpendicular lines intersect each other equals 90 degrees.

Therefore, the angle formed as shown in the figure attached, where transversals r and s meet = 90 degrees.

Since lines n and p are parallel lines, therefore:

[tex]m \angle 1 + 90 = 141[/tex] (alternate interior angles are equal)

  • Subtract 90 from each side

[tex]m \angle 1 = 141 - 90\\\\\mathbf{m \angle 1 = 51^{\circ}}[/tex]

Therefore, given the diagram given where lines n and p are parallel, and transversals r and s are perpendicular, the measure of angle 1 is: [tex]\mathbf{1) 51^{\circ}}[/tex]
