1. **State the problem:** Given two intersecting lines with angles labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 around the intersection, and $m\angle 1 = 135^\circ$, find the measures of angles 2, 3, and 4.
2. **Recall the rule for vertical angles:** Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines and are always equal.
3. **Identify vertical angles:**
- $\angle 1$ and $\angle 3$ are vertical angles, so $m\angle 3 = m\angle 1 = 135^\circ$.
- $\angle 2$ and $\angle 4$ are vertical angles, so $m\angle 2 = m\angle 4$.
4. **Use the fact that adjacent angles on a straight line sum to $180^\circ$:**
- $m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ$
- Substitute $m\angle 1 = 135^\circ$:
$$135^\circ + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ$$
5. **Solve for $m\angle 2$:**
$$m\angle 2 = 180^\circ - 135^\circ = 45^\circ$$
6. **Find $m\angle 4$ using vertical angles:**
$$m\angle 4 = m\angle 2 = 45^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
- $m\angle 2 = 45^\circ$
- $m\angle 3 = 135^\circ$
- $m\angle 4 = 45^\circ$
