Hello!
We are given that lines A and B are parallel lines cut by a transversal, and we are comparing the angles of 7 and 2.
We can see immediately that they are alternate exterior angles, because they are on opposite sides of the transversal, and they are on the exterior of the two parallel lines being cut.
According to the Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting exterior angles are congruent, meaning that they are of the same angle measure.
So when it is given that the measure of Angle 7 is 115 degrees, we can conclude that the measure of Angle 2 is 115 degrees as well.
Hope this helps!
