1. **Problem statement:** Given that the side of the house and the side of the shed are parallel, find the measures of angles \(\angle 1\) and \(\angle 2\) when one angle is given as 58°. 2. **Relevant formula and rules:** When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the consecutive interior angles (also called same-side interior angles) are supplementary. This means: $$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180^\circ$$ 3. **Given:** One angle is 58° (assume this is \(\angle 1\)). 4. **Calculate \(\angle 2\):** $$\angle 2 = 180^\circ - \angle 1 = 180^\circ - 58^\circ = 122^\circ$$ 5. **Answer:** $$\angle 1 = 58^\circ, \quad \angle 2 = 122^\circ$$ These angles are supplementary because they lie on the same side of the transversal between the parallel lines.
