Explanation:

Step1: Find the relationship between ∠1 and ∠5

∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. But first, we know that ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (∠1 + ∠2=180°), and ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (alternate interior angles). Also, ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary (∠1 + ∠3 = 180°), ∠3 and ∠5 are same - side interior angles. However, for calculating the measure of ∠5 when \(m\angle1 = 71^{\circ}\):
We know that ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary. So \(m\angle2=180 - 71=109^{\circ}\). Since ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (alternate interior angles), \(m\angle6 = 109^{\circ}\). And ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary (\(m\angle5+m\angle6 = 180^{\circ}\)), so \(m\angle5=180 - m\angle6\). But a simpler way: ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary (\(m\angle3=180 - 71 = 109^{\circ}\)), and ∠3 and ∠5 are same - side interior angles. Wait, no, actually, ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (\(m\angle2 = 180 - 71=109^{\circ}\)), ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (alternate interior angles, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent), ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary. But another approach: ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary (\(m\angle3=180 - 71 = 109^{\circ}\)), and ∠3 and ∠5 are same - side interior angles. Wait, wrong. Let's use the property of parallel lines and transversals. ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (\(m\angle2=180 - 71 = 109^{\circ}\)), ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem), ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary. But actually, ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary (\(m\angle3 = 180 - 71=109^{\circ}\)), and ∠3 and ∠5 are same - side interior angles. No, wait, correct approach: ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (\(m\angle2=180 - 71 = 109^{\circ}\)), ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: \(m\angle2=m\angle6 = 109^{\circ}\)), ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary (\(m\angle5=180 - m\angle6\)). But a better way: ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary (\(m\angle3=180 - 71 = 109^{\circ}\)), and ∠3 and ∠5 are same - side interior angles. No, wait, ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (\(m\angle2 = 180 - 71=109^{\circ}\)), ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem), ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary. But actually, ∠1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles? No. � 1 and ∠5: ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (\(m\angle2=109^{\circ}\)), ∠2 and ∠6 are congruent (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem), ∠6 and ∠5 are supplementary. So \(m\angle5 = 71^{\circ}\) (because ∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles. By the Corresponding Angles Postulate: if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent. ∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles.

Step2: Find the measure of ∠7

Since ∠5 and ∠7 are vertical angles. By the Vertical Angles Theorem: vertical angles are congruent. If \(m\angle5 = 71^{\circ}\), then \(m\angle7=m\angle5\)

Answer:

1. \(m\angle5 = 71^{\circ}\)
2. \(m\angle7 = 71^{\circ}\)
