angle 1 = 90°

angle 2 = 53°

angle 3 =37°

Explanation:

angle 1 = 90°[ Vertically opposite angle]

angle 2=53°[VOA]

angle 3=37°[VOA]

VOA= Vertically opposite angle

As you can see each angle is vertically opposite to each other so they have the same value

Answer:

Angle 1 = 90°

Angle 2 = 53°

Angle 3 = 37°

Explanation:

(I am not the best at explanations, but I will try my best. If you have any questions even after reading through it, feel free to ask me in the comments.)

Angle 1:

Angle 1 can be calculated by 2 different methods.

The first method involves calculation.
A rule you will need to remember for this is that angles on a straight line always add up to 180°.
Since angle 1 lies on a straight line and the magnitudes of the two other angles on the line have been provided, we can find the measure of angle 1 by simply subtracting the other two angles from 180°.

180 - 37 - 53 = 90

This means angle 1 = 90°

The second method can only be used when the angles provided are around a point. The rule used for this is that opposite angles are always equal.
The angle opposite to angle 1 on the diagram measures 90°, this means angle 1 must also be 90°.

Angle 2:

Opposite angles are always equal.

Angle 2 lies opposite to an angle measuring 53°, this means angle 2 will also have a magnitude of 53°.

Angle 3:

Similar to the other two angles, Opposite angles are always equal.

Angle 3 lies opposite to an angle measuring 37°, this means angle 3 will also have a magnitude of 37°.

Bonus tip: You can check if your angles are correct through this! Angles around a point add up to 360°, this means the total sum of all the angles should be 360° (only when calculating around a point).

90 + 37 + 53 + 90 + 37 + 53 = 360
