Step-by-step solution

Here's how to find the values of aa, bb, cc, and dd using the properties of parallel lines. The lines CD and EF are parallel, and HI is the transversal.

  1. Find aa.

    Angle aa and the 85∘85^\circ angle are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal.

    a=85∘a = 85^\circ

    Reason: Vertically opposite angles.

  2. Find bb.

    Angle bb and the 85∘85^\circ angle form a linear pair on the straight line HI. Angles in a linear pair sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    b+85∘=180∘b + 85^\circ = 180^\circ b=180∘−85∘b = 180^\circ - 85^\circ b=95∘b = 95^\circ

    Reason: Angles on a straight line (linear pair).

  3. Find cc.

    Angle cc and angle bb are alternate interior angles. Since lines CD and EF are parallel, alternate interior angles are equal.

    c=bc = b

    Since b=95∘b = 95^\circ:

    c=95∘c = 95^\circ

    Reason: Alternate interior angles are equal.

  4. Find dd.

    Angle dd and the 85∘85^\circ angle are corresponding angles. Since lines CD and EF are parallel, corresponding angles are equal.

    d=85∘d = 85^\circ

    Reason: Corresponding angles are equal.

    The values are:
    a=85∘a = \boxed{\text{85}^\circ}
    b=95∘b = \boxed{\text{95}^\circ}
    c=95∘c = \boxed{\text{95}^\circ}
    d=85∘d = \boxed{\text{85}^\circ}
