Let's solve each problem step by step using geometric principles such as
vertical angles,
supplementary angles,
corresponding angles, and
parallel lines.

1. Find m∠1
We are given two intersecting lines forming an "X" shape, with one angle labeled $67^\circ$. The angle marked $ \angle 1 $ is
opposite to the $67^\circ$ angle.
-
Vertical angles are equal.
- So, $ \angle 1 $ is
vertical to the $67^\circ$ angle.
✔ Therefore:
$$
m\angle 1 = 67^\circ
$$

2. Find m∠HJK
We have two parallel lines cut by a transversal. One angle is $142^\circ$, and we are to find $x^\circ = \angle HJK$.
Looking at the diagram:
- The $142^\circ$ angle and $\angle HJK$ are
on the same side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines — so they are
consecutive interior angles (same-side interior angles).
- Consecutive interior angles are
supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$.
So:
$$
x + 142^\circ = 180^\circ \\
x = 180^\circ - 142^\circ = 38^\circ
$$
✔ Therefore:
$$
m\angle HJK = 38^\circ
$$

3. Find m∠3
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One angle is $111^\circ$, and we are to find $ \angle 3 $.
From the diagram:
- $ \angle 3 $ is
adjacent to the $111^\circ$ angle on a straight line — so they form a linear pair.
- Linear pairs are supplementary: they add to $180^\circ$.
So:
$$
m\angle 3 + 111^\circ = 180^\circ \\
m\angle 3 = 180^\circ - 111^\circ = 69^\circ
$$
✔ Therefore:
$$
m\angle 3 = 69^\circ
$$

4. Find m∠4
We have two lines intersecting, and there’s a
right angle symbol at the intersection.
This means that the angle formed is $90^\circ$. Since $ \angle 4 $ is adjacent to this right angle and shares a straight line, it must also be part of a linear pair.
But wait — actually, if the lines are perpendicular (indicated by the right angle), then
all four angles formed are $90^\circ$.
So:
$$
m\angle 4 = 90^\circ
$$
✔ Therefore:
$$
m\angle 4 = 90^\circ
$$
---
5. Find m∠BST
We have two parallel lines cut by a transversal. One angle is $138^\circ$, and we are to find $ \angle BST $, which is labeled $x^\circ$.
From the diagram:
- The $138^\circ$ angle and $ \angle BST $ are
alternate interior angles (they are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines).
- Alternate interior angles are
equal when lines are parallel.
So:
$$
m\angle BST = 138^\circ
$$
✔ Therefore:
$$
m\angle BST = 138^\circ
$$
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. $ m\angle 1 = 67^\circ $
2. $ m\angle HJK = 38^\circ $
3. $ m\angle 3 = 69^\circ $
4. $ m\angle 4 = 90^\circ $
5. $ m\angle BST = 138^\circ $
