In this exercise, students will practice finding missing angle measures in parallel lines and triangles. They will be given a diagram with missing angles and asked to use their knowledge of parallel lines and triangle angle measures to determine the missing angles. This activity will help students develop their problem-solving skills and ability to apply their understand...
