Answer

$m \angle 1 = 94^{\circ}$ $m \angle 2 = 132^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

This quadrilateral is a trapezoid; it has exactly one pair of parallel sides. If we take a look at the diagram, we see that we have two transversals. The angles formed by each transversal are, in actuality, alternate interior angles; these types of angles are supplementary. Let's set up the equation to find $m \angle 1$: $m \angle 1 = 180 - 86$ Subtract to solve: $m \angle 1 = 94^{\circ}$ Let's set up an equation to find $m \angle 2$: $m \angle 2 = 180 - 48$ Subtract to solve: $m \angle 2 = 132^{\circ}$
