Answer:

f=h=p=n=118°

e=g=m=o=180°-n=62°

i=k=c=a=34°

b=d=j=l=180°-a=146°

c+e+t=180°

r=t=180°-c-e=180°-34°-62°=84°

q=s=180°-r=96°


r+o+i=180°

84°+62°+34°=180° check



Explanation:

These three situations cover all of the angles:


Where two lines cross, the four angles add to a full circle, 360°. The pairs of opposite angles are equal. The pairs of adjacent angles (aka supplementary angles) add to 180°.


Where a line crosses two parallel lines, the four angles at one vertex equal the corresponding angles at the other vertex.


The interior angles of a triangle add to 180°. (Unless you draw it on a sphere :-).
