Answer:

63°, 117° and 63°.

Explanation:

We know that there are two intersecting lines, when this happens there are formed 4 angles, two pairs of verticle angles, as it's shown in the image attached.

By definition, vertical angles are congruent. Which means the opposite angle of 117° is also equal to 117°.

Now, adjacent angles are supplementary angles in this case, because they are on a straight angle which is equal to 180°,

180° - 117° = 63°

So, by suplementary angles the other pair of verticle angles are equal to 63°.

Therefore, the other three angles missing are 63°, 117° and 63°.
