Answer:

  • The are congruent.
  • They are non-adjacent.

Explanation:

Where a transversal crosses parallel lines, the angles outside the parallel lines are called exterior angles. When they are on opposite sides of the transversal, they are alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent.

The share a side (the transversal, but not a vertex. So they are non-adjacent.

_____

Additional comment

In this geometry, corresponding angles are congruent. Of course, vertical angles are always congruent. Each alternate exterior angle is a vertical angle with one that is corresponding to the other alternate exterior angle.
