**Problem Statement:**

27. Find each of the specified angles related to the pentagon in the following picture. Assume that the arrows indicate two parallel lines. Provide a short explanation for how you found each angle.

- Angle A = 
- Angle B = 
- Angle C = 
- Angle D = 
- Angle E = 

**Diagram Description:**

A diagram is provided with two parallel lines intersected by a transversal. Labels and angle measures are indicated as follows:
- The top horizontal line has an angle marked \(70^\circ\) at the top-left side of point A.
- Moving to the right on the top horizontal line, an interior angle \(50^\circ\) is given at point C.
- Approximately diagonally downward, point E is marked with an angle of \(80^\circ\) on the right side of point D.
- The bottom is horizontally parallel to the top horizontal line, with points B and D lying on it.

**Explanations and Solutions:**

1. **Angle A:**
   - Given that the top and bottom lines are parallel, and the 70° is corresponding to angle A (since corresponding angles are equal when the lines are parallel), hence:
   - \( \text{Angle A} = 70^\circ \)

2. **Angle B:**
   - Angle B and angle A are also corresponding angles as both the parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. Angle B is thus equal to angle A:
   - \( \text{Angle B} = 70^\circ \)

3. **Angle C:**
   - Angle C is given as \(50^\circ\).

4. **Angle D:**
   - Angle D forms a linear pair with angle C, making them supplementary angles (the sum is \(180^\circ\)). Therefore:
   - \( \text{Angle D} = 180^\circ - 50^\circ \)
   - \( \text{Angle D} = 130^\circ \)

5. **Angle E:**
   - Angle E is given as \(80^\circ\).

By applying properties of parallel lines and angles (corresponding, supplementary), we can determine the measure of each specified angle in relation to the given parallel lines and angles.
