\n" ); document.write( "so the numbers 2 and 5 go underneath the 3 and 4 and the 38 deg and the seven go under the numbers 1 and 6

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A direct result of the famous Parallel Postulate is that corresponding angles are equal. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "< \"1\" and < \"38deg\" are supplementary angles - those add up to \"180\"° \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the measure of < \"1\" is < \"1\"=\"180-38=142\"° \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since, by Parallel Postulate, < \"3\"=< \"1\" are corresponding angles, the measure of < \"3\" is \"142\"°\r
