### Geometry Problem: Finding the Measure of Angle 5

**Diagram Description:**
The image displays a geometric diagram with two intersecting lines, forming various angles. More precisely, the intersecting lines create eight angles, labeled 1 through 9 as follows:

- Angles 1, 2, and 3 are on the lower right side.
- Angles 4, 5, and 6 are on the left side.
- Angles 7, 8, and 9 are on the top right side.

**Given Information:**
- The measure of angle 7 (\( m/\angle 7 \)) is \( 102^\circ \).
- The measure of angle 2 (\( m/\angle 2 \)) is \( 49^\circ \).

**Problem:**
Find the measure of angle 5 (\( m/\angle 5 \)).

**Solution Steps:**
1. **Identify Vertical Angles:**
   - Angles 7 and 3 are vertical angles and are therefore equal. So, \( m/\angle 3 = 102^\circ \).

2. **Identify Alternate Interior Angles:**
   - Angles 2 and 3 are on opposite sides of the transversal and are equal.
   - Since \( m/\angle 2 = 49^\circ \), and the lines present are parallel with 2 being the interior angle sharing a transversal with 3, angle 3 must also measure 49 degrees. 

3. **Using the Angle Sum Property:**
   - Considering the straight line crossing through angles 4, 5, and 6, they must aggregate to \(180^\circ \) (Supplementary angles).
   - Given: 
        \( m/\angle 4 + m/\angle 5 + m/\angle 6 = 180^\circ \)
   - Also, angles 4 and 6 form linear pairs with 7 and 5 respectively:
        \( m/\angle 7 = 102^\circ \Rightarrow m/\angle 6 = 78^\circ \) (180 - 102)
   - As angles 4 and 6 are vertically opposite angles cutting 5, they are also equal (Linear angle sum property with right angles completing the shape as per transversal intersection).  
         
         With:  
            m/\|angle 8=\ 
            
### Hence calculation verifies 49 Triangle angles and inner defining lines
