To solve this question, it is good to have an idea of vertical and supplementary angles. Let's solve this by the definition of vertical angles.

Vertical angle:

When two lines cross each other, the opposite angles formed are called the vertical angles.

Hence,

angle 1 = angle 3

angle 2 = angle 4

Now, angle1 = 96 => angle3 = 96

The second definition is: The sum of all angles in a circle is 360.

Hence,

Angle1 + angle2 + angle3 + angle4 = 360

Let's say angle2 and angle4 = x (as both angles are equal)

96 + x + 96 + x = 360

2x + 192 = 360

2x = 360 - 192

2x = 168

x = 168/2

x = 84

Hence, angle 2 and angle 4 are 84.

Simply,

Angle1 = 96

Angle2 = 84

Angle3 = 96

Angle4 = 84
