Images

  • A. 40°
  • B. 60°
  • C. 75°
  • D. 90°

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E is correct. Angles 1 and 2 are on opposite sides of the transversal, are outside the two parallel lines, and are not adjacent. They are therefore opposite exterior angles, which by definition have the same measure.
