Explanation:

Step1: Find the measure of arc opposite to ∠3

The total degrees in a circle is \(360^\circ\). The arcs given are \(54^\circ\) and \(112^\circ\). The arc opposite to ∠3 (vertical angle) and the \(54^\circ\) arc, and the \(112^\circ\) arc and its opposite. Wait, actually, ∠3 and the \(54^\circ\) arc: Wait, ∠3 is an inscribed angle? No, the angles at the center? Wait, no, the lines are chords intersecting at the center? Wait, no, the dot is the center? Wait, the diagram: two chords intersecting, with a center (the dot). So the sum of arcs around a circle is \(360^\circ\). The arcs: one is \(54^\circ\), one is \(112^\circ\), so the other two arcs: let's find the arc adjacent to ∠3. Wait, ∠3 and the \(54^\circ\) arc: ∠3 is an angle formed by two chords. Wait, maybe ∠2 and ∠3: Wait, first, ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles? No, ∠1 and ∠3 are adjacent? Wait, no, the four angles at the intersection: ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4. ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical, ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical. The measure of an angle formed by two chords intersecting is equal to half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs. Wait, no, if they intersect at the center, then the angle is equal to the arc. Wait, the dot is the center, so the lines are diameters? Wait, no, the dot is the center, so the angle at the center (∠2) would be equal to the arc it intercepts. Wait, the arc with \(54^\circ\): let's find the arc opposite to ∠2. Wait, the total circle is \(360^\circ\), so the sum of the two arcs (the ones not \(54^\circ\) and \(112^\circ\)): \(360 - 54 - 112 = 194^\circ\)? No, wait, two arcs: \(54^\circ\) and its opposite, \(112^\circ\) and its opposite. Wait, no, when two chords intersect at the center, the angles are equal to the arcs. Wait, maybe ∠2: let's see, the arc intercepted by ∠2: the arc that is \(180 - 54 - \text{something}\)? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the problem is about ∠1 and ∠2. Wait, the options for \(m\angle2\) are 83,29,97,151. Wait, let's calculate the arc for ∠2. The angle formed by two chords intersecting is equal to half the sum of the intercepted arcs. Wait, no, if they intersect at the center, it's equal to the arc. Wait, maybe the center is not the intersection point. Wait, the intersection point is not the center (the dot is the center, and the intersection is a point inside the circle, not the center). So when two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the angle is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. So ∠2: intercepted arcs are \(54^\circ\) and the arc opposite to the \(112^\circ\) arc? Wait, no. Wait, ∠2 is formed by two chords, intercepting arcs: one is \(54^\circ\), the other is \(360 - 54 - 112 - x\)? No, let's re-express. The two arcs intercepted by ∠2: let's say arc A is \(54^\circ\), arc B is \(112^\circ\), then the other two arcs: arc C and arc D. The sum of arc A + arc B + arc C + arc D = \(360^\circ\). So arc C + arc D = \(360 - 54 - 112 = 194^\circ\). Now, ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles, ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles. The measure of ∠2 is half the sum of arc A and arc D? Wait, no, when two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the angle is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs. So ∠2 intercepts arc \(54^\circ\) and arc D (the arc opposite to \(112^\circ\)? Wait, no, \(112^\circ\) and arc C are adjacent? Wait, maybe I should look at the straight line: a straight line is \(180^\circ\). Wait, the angle ∠2 and the angle adjacent to it (∠3) and the arc: Wait, the \(54^\circ\) arc and the arc adjacent to ∠3: ∠3 is an angle, and the arc \(54^\circ\) is related. Wait, maybe the sum of ∠2 and the angle with the \(54^\circ\) arc: Wait, let's calculate the arc that is \(360 - 54 - 112 = 194\), but that's two arcs. Wait, no, the two chords intersect, so the sum of the arcs between them: ∠2 is formed by two chords, so the measure of ∠2 is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. Wait, maybe the \(54^\circ\) arc and the arc that is \(180 - 112 = 68\)? No, this is confusing. Wait, the options for \(m\angle2\) are 83,29,97,151. Let's try another approach. The angle ∠1 and ∠2: they are supplementary? Wait, ∠1 + ∠2 = 180? No, if they are adjacent angles at the intersection. Wait, the sum of angles around a point is \(360^\circ\), so ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 360. But ∠1 = ∠3, ∠2 = ∠4 (vertical angles). So 2∠1 + 2∠2 = 360 → ∠1 + ∠2 = 180. Now, the measure of ∠2 is related to the arcs. The measure of an angle formed by two chords intersecting is equal to half the sum of the intercepted arcs. So ∠2 intercepts arcs: one is \(54^\circ\), the other is the arc opposite to the \(112^\circ\) arc? Wait, no, \(112^\circ\) and the arc adjacent to ∠2: Wait, the arc intercepted by ∠2 is \(54^\circ\) and the arc that is \(360 - 54 - 112 = 194\), but that's two arcs. Wait, no, the two chords intersect, so the two arcs intercepted by ∠2 are \(54^\circ\) and the arc that is \(360 - 54 - 112 = 194\)? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the center is the dot, so the angle ∠2 is a central angle, so its measure is equal to the arc it intercepts. The arc it intercepts: the arc opposite to the \(54^\circ\) arc? Wait, the total circle is \(360\), so the arc opposite to ∠2 is \(360 - 54 - 112 - x\), but this is not working. Wait, let's look at the straight line: a straight line is \(180^\circ\). So the arc \(54^\circ\) and the arc adjacent to ∠3: ∠3 + 54° + ∠2 = 180? No, ∠3 is an angle, and the arc \(54^\circ\) is a central angle? Wait, maybe the answer is 97. Let's check: 180 - 83 = 97? No. Wait, the \(54^\circ\) arc and the angle ∠2: if ∠2 is 97, then the other angle is 83, because 97 + 83 = 180. Wait, maybe the \(54^\circ\) arc and the arc 112°: 54 + 112 = 166, half of that is 83, but that's not. Wait, no, the angle formed by two chords intersecting is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. So if ∠2 intercepts arcs 54 and 112, then ∠2 = (54 + 112)/2 = 83? But 54 + 112 = 166, half is 83. Wait, that's one of the options. Wait, but 54 and 112 are arcs, so the angle formed by the two chords (intersecting inside the circle) is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. So ∠2 is formed by two chords, intercepting arcs 54° and 112°, so ∠2 = (54 + 112)/2 = 83? But 54 + 112 = 166, divided by 2 is 83. But wait, the options for \(m\angle2\) include 83. Wait, but the question is about \(m\angle1\) and \(m\angle2\). Wait, ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary? Because they are adjacent angles on a straight line. So if ∠2 is 83, then ∠1 is 180 - 83 = 97? Wait, that makes sense. So:

Step1: Calculate \(m\angle2\)

The measure of an angle formed by two chords intersecting inside a circle is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. The intercepted arcs are \(54^\circ\) and \(112^\circ\). So:
\[ m\angle2 = \frac{54 + 112}{2} = \frac{166}{2} = 83^\circ \]

Step2: Calculate \(m\angle1\)

∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (they form a linear pair, so their sum is \(180^\circ\)):
\[ m\angle1 = 180 - m\angle2 = 180 - 83 = 97^\circ \]

Answer:

\(m\angle1 = 97^\circ\), \(m\angle2 = 83^\circ\)
