Answer :

To solve this question we will use the following diagram as reference:

Notice that angles 1 and 2 are consecutive exterior angles, therefore they must add up to 180 degrees, meaning:

[tex]\measuredangle1+\measuredangle2=180^{\circ}.[/tex]

We know that ∠1 measures 77°, therefore:

[tex]77^{\circ}+\measuredangle2=180^{\circ}\text{.}[/tex]

Subtracting 77° from the above equation we get:
