1. Measuring Angles

Find the measure of each marked angle.

Find the measure of each marked angle. In Exercises 19–22, m and n are parallel. See Examples 1 and 2 .

Solve each problem. Length of a Road A camera is located on a satellite with its lens positioned at C in the figure. Length PC represents the distance from the lens to the film PQ, and BA represents a straight road on the ground. Use the measurements given in the figure to find the length of the road. (Data from Kastner, B., Space Mathematics, NASA.)
