Explanation:

let's start with the isoceles triangle with 36°.

remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°. and the base angles of an isoceles triangle are equal.

so,

180 = 36 + 2×a

144 = 2a

a = 72°

g is then the complementary angle to the second a angle (it means they have together 90°) :

90 = g + a = g + 72

g = 18°

h is per the rules of equal angles on both sides of intersected lines the same as the second a angle, as it is also complementary to the g angle :

h = a = 72°

m is the supplementary angle (that means together they have 180°) to g, as the invective angle next to m is the same as g, due to the rules of equal angles of intersected parallel lines. and the sum of all angles around a point on one side of a line must be 180°.

180 = m + g = m + 18

m = 162°

in the upper triangle with o and n we have the baseline being 2 times the height, and it is therefore an isoceles triangle.

both sides are congruent isoceles triangles.

both baseline angles are therefore o and respectively n.

making o = n.

and so, for the complete upper triangle we have the angles o, o and 2o (or n, n and 2n).

180 = o + o + 2o = 4o

o = 180/4 = 45° = n

the f and o triangle is a triangle of 90°, f and o.

180 = 90 + f + o = 90 + f + 45

f = 45°

e + f + 298 = 360

because together they represent a full circle

e = 360 - 298 - f = 62 - 45 = 17°

in the o and b triangle we have a third angle (90 + g). and therefore

180 = o + b + 90 + g = 45 + b + 90 + 18

b = 180 - 90 - 45 - 18 = 27°

k is again per the rules of the same angles on both sides of intersecting lines (incl. parallel lines) the same as n :

k = n = 45°

for the same reason p = j = d

and p is the supplementary angle to k (again, parallel lines intersect another line with the same angles).

180 = k + p = 45 + p

p = j = d = 180 - 45 = 135°

i is the same as the unnamed third angle in the h and n triangle.

180 = h + n + i = 72 + 45 + i

i = 180 - 72 - 45 = 63°

c is the supplementary angle to (e + f). again, due to the same angles on both sides of intercepted lines (and of course, also parallel intercepted lines).

180 = e + f + c = 17 + 45 + c

c = 180 - 17 - 45 = 118°

the unnamed smaller angle next to c is equal to n (again, same intersection angles for parallel lines). so the larger unnamed angle next to c is then the supplementary angle to n, therefore the same as p, j and d : 135°.

now, to get l we need to remember that the sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is 360°.

our quadrilateral is here these unnamed 135°, l, c and e.

so,

360 = 135 + l + 118 + 17

l = 360 - 135 - 118 - 17 = 90°
