Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical angles or parallel line relationships

$\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical angles? No, wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: actually, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, let's look at the lines. Lines $m$ and $n$ are parallel, $p$ and $q$ are parallel. $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are adjacent? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: actually, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical angles? Wait, no, the transversal is $q$. So $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when a transversal intersects two lines, vertical angles are equal. Wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, maybe better to find corresponding angles. Since $m \parallel n$ and $p \parallel q$, the figure is a parallelogram of angles. Wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$: no, let's see. $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when transversal $q$ intersects line $n$ and the other line (the one with 12), so $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical angles? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect. So if line $q$ intersects the lower line (with 12 and 16), then $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are adjacent? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's look at $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: actually, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical angles? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when two lines intersect, vertical angles are equal. So $\angle 16 = \angle 12 = 125^\circ$? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, maybe $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$: no, let's think again. Since $m \parallel n$, the angle corresponding to $\angle 1$ should be related to $\angle 16$. Wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when transversal $q$ intersects line $n$ (with 9,10,11,12,15,16) and the other line (the one with 3,4,7,8), so $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$: no, maybe $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$ are corresponding angles? Wait, no, $m \parallel n$, so the angle at $m$ (like $\angle 8$) and angle at $n$ (like $\angle 16$) should be equal or supplementary? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$: if $p \parallel q$, then $\angle 8$ and $\angle 16$ are corresponding angles? Wait, no, $m$ and $n$ are parallel, $p$ and $q$ are parallel. So the angle $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$: no, maybe $\angle 16$ and $\angle 6$: no, let's find the relationship between $\angle 16$ and $\angle 1$. Wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when transversal $q$ intersects line $n$ (with 9,10,11,12,15,16) and the line above (with 3,4,7,8), so $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$ are corresponding angles? Wait, no, $m \parallel n$, so the angle at $m$ (like $\angle 8$) and angle at $n$ (like $\angle 16$) are equal if the transversal is $q$? Wait, no, $p$ and $q$ are parallel, so the transversal is the line with 2,6,10,14 and the line with 3,7,11,15. Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating. Let's use linear pairs. $\angle 16$ and $\angle 15$ are supplementary? No, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 15$: adjacent angles on a straight line, so $\angle 16 + \angle 15 = 180^\circ$. But $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$ are vertical angles? No, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$: vertical angles? Wait, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$: when transversal $q$ intersects line $n$ and the other line, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$ are vertical? No, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$ are vertical angles? Wait, no, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$: vertical angles are equal. Wait, $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$: yes, because they are opposite each other when transversal $q$ intersects the two lines (the one with 10,11,15,16 and the one with 6,7,11,15? No, maybe not. Wait, let's look at $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: no, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical angles? Wait, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$: when transversal $q$ intersects line $n$ (with 9,10,11,12,15,16) and the line above (with 3,4,7,8), so $\angle 16$ and $\angle 8$ are corresponding angles? Wait, no, $m \parallel n$, so $\angle 8$ and $\angle 16$ are equal? Wait, no, $p \parallel q$, so $\angle 8$ and $\angle 16$ are corresponding angles. Wait, $\angle 8$ and $\angle 16$: if $p \parallel q$, then yes, corresponding angles are equal. So $\angle 8 = \angle 16 = 125^\circ$? But $\angle 8$ and $\angle 3$: no, $\angle 8$ and $\angle 3$ are vertical? Wait, no, $\angle 8$ and $\angle 3$: when transversal $p$ (wait, no, the transversal is the line with 2,6,10,14) intersects line $m$ and the other line. Wait, maybe better to find that $\angle 16$ and $\angle 1$ are supplementary? Wait, no, let's think of the big picture. Since $m \parallel n$ and $p \parallel q$, the angle $\angle 1$ and $\angle 16$: let's see, $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical (so equal), $\angle 12$ and $\angle 8$ are corresponding (since $m \parallel n$ and transversal $q$), so $\angle 8 = \angle 12 = \angle 16 = 125^\circ$. Then $\angle 8$ and $\angle 2$: no, $\angle 8$ and $\angle 2$ are corresponding? Wait, no, $\angle 8$ and $\angle 2$: since $p \parallel q$, $\angle 2$ and $\angle 10$ are corresponding, but maybe not. Wait, $\angle 1$ and $\angle 8$: are they supplementary? Wait, $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ are supplementary (linear pair), $\angle 2$ and $\angle 6$ are vertical, $\angle 6$ and $\angle 10$ are corresponding (since $m \parallel n$), $\angle 10$ and $\angle 14$ are vertical, $\angle 14$ and $\angle 13$ are supplementary, etc. Wait, maybe a better approach: $\angle 16$ and $\angle 12$ are vertical, so $\angle 12 = 125^\circ$. Then, since $m \parallel n$, $\angle 12$ and $\angle 6$ are corresponding angles? Wait, no, $m \parallel n$, transversal is the line with 3,7,11,15. So $\angle 6$ and $\angle 10$ are corresponding, $\angle 10$ and $\angle 14$ are vertical, $\angle 14$ and $\angle 13$ are supplementary. Wait, I'm getting confused. Let's use linear pairs. $\angle 16$ and $\angle 15$ are supplementary, so $\angle 15 = 180^\circ - 125^\circ = 55^\circ$. Then $\angle 15$ and $\angle 11$ are vertical, so $\angle 11 = 55^\circ$. Then, since $m \parallel n$, $\angle 11$ and $\angle 7$ are corresponding, so $\angle 7 = 55^\circ$. Then $\angle 7$ and $\angle 3$ are vertical, so $\angle 3 = 55^\circ$. Then, since $p \parallel q$, $\angle 3$ and $\angle 1$ are corresponding? Wait, no, $p \parallel q$, transversal is the line with 1,2,5,6. So $\angle 1$ and $\angle 9$ are corresponding, but $\angle 9$ and $\angle 15$? No, maybe not. Wait, another way: $\angle 16$ and $\angle 1$: since the figure is a parallelogram of angles, $\angle 1$ and $\angle 16$ are supplementary? Wait, no, $\angle 16$ is 125°, so $\angle 1$ should be 180° - 125° = 55°? Wait, that makes sense. Because in a parallelogram formed by two sets of parallel lines, consecutive angles are supplementary. So $\angle 1$ and $\angle 16$ are consecutive angles, so they add up to 180°. Wait, is that true? Let's check: if $m \parallel n$ and $p \parallel q$, then the quadrilateral formed by the intersections is a parallelogram, so consecutive angles are supplementary. So $\angle 1 + \angle 16 = 180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 125^\circ = 55^\circ$.

Step2: Calculate the measure of angle 1

We know that $\angle 1$ and $\angle 16$ are supplementary (because of the parallel lines forming a parallelogram of angles, so consecutive angles are supplementary). So:
$$ m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - m\angle 16 $$
Substitute $m\angle 16 = 125^\circ$:
$$ m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 125^\circ = 55^\circ $$

Answer:

$55$
