Answer:

At the intersection of the first parallel line with the transversal, a = 12°, c = 168°, d = 12°, e = 168°. Counting counterclockwise from a.

At the first intersection of the second parallel line with the transversal, b = 168°, f = 12°, g = 168°, h = 12°. Counting clockwise from b.

Explanation:

At the intersection of the first parallel line with the transversal, a = 12°, c = 168°, d = 12°, e = 168°. Counting counterclockwise from a.

At the first intersection of the second parallel line with the transversal, b = 168°, f = 12°, g = 168°, h = 12°. Counting clockwise from b.

Explanation:

Let a be the first interior angle. Since they are in 1:14, the second same side interior angle is b = 14a.

We know that the sum of interior angles equals 180°.

So, a + b = 180°

a + 14a = 180°

15a = 180°

a = 180/15

a = 12°

At alternate angle to the other interior angle, b adjacent to a is c = b = 14a = 14 × 12 = 168°

The angle vertically opposite to a is d = a = 12°

The angle vertically opposite to a is b = e = 168°

At the intersection of the second parallel line and the transversal, the angle alternate to a is f = a = 12°

the angle vertically opposite to angle b is g = b = 168°

the angle vertically opposite to f is h = 12°
