In the figure below, lines m and n are parallel: two parallel lines are shown crossed by a transversal. the angles are labeled with number 1-8. the angles on line m where the line is crossed by the transversal are 1, 2, 3, and 4 in clockwise order from top left. the angles on line n where the line is crossed by the transversal are 5, 6, 7, and 8 in clockwise order from top left. in the diagram shown, ∠6 measures 97 degrees. what is the measure of ∠5?
a)83 degrees
b)90 degrees
c)97 degrees
d)180 degrees
i think its c

The answer is 83 for sure. I just took a test and the correct answer was 83

(A)83°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that lines m and n are parallel to each other and l is the transversal crossing the two given parallel lines,and m∠6=97°, then by using the property of liner pair angles, we have

m∠5+m∠6=180° (Because they form a linear pair)

⇒m∠5+97=180

⇒m∠5=180-97

⇒m∠5=83°.

Thus, the measure of ∠5 is 83°.
