Answer:
a) 23.0769% increase
b) 9.375% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
If you extend the line from 1 through the parallel line you create a transversal and a triangle.
Consecutive angles inside the parallel lines are supplementary therefor the exterior angle of the triangle on the left side measures 118 degrees. This angle creates a linear pair with the left base angle therefore that angle measures 62 degrees.
144 forms a linear pair with the right base angle of the triangle making its measure 36 degrees.
The third angle of the triangle would then measure 82 degrees. Finally this third angle forms a linear pair with angle 1 making angle 1 measure 98 degrees.
