Answer:

The measures of all eight angles formed by the parallel lines and transversal are;

The four angles for the one of the parallel line = 12°, 168°, 12°, 168°

The four angles for the other parallel line = 12°, 168°, 12°, 168°

Explanation:

The same-side interior angle theorem states that the the sum of the same side interior angles formed by the transversal intersection of two parallel lines is equal to 180°

Whereby the ratio of the angles is 1:14, we have;

Let one of the angles = x

Therefore, the other angle = 14·x

We then have;

x + 14·x = 180°

15·x = 180°

x = 180°/15 = 12°

∴ The other angle = 14×12 = 168°

Hence the four angles on one of the parallel lines are therefore;

12°, 168°, 12°, 168°

Similarly, the four angles on one of the other parallel line are;

12°, 168°, 12°, 168°

The measures of all eight angles formed by the parallel lines and transversal = 12°, 12°, 12°, 12°, 168°, 168°, 168°, 168°.
