The values of a, b and c are a = 110°, b = 250° and c = 110°.

In the figure consisting of two parallel lines, we can have a straight line drawn to cut the angle b and the right triangle at the tip, this line that will be parallel to the existing two parallel lines can help to evaluate for the angles a, b, and c as follows:

The adjacent angles are equal to 180° so;

b = (180° - 35°) + (180° - 75°)

b = 145° + 105°

b = 250°

a = 360 - 250° {sum of angles at a point}

a = 110°

Part of the right angle to the side of the angle 160° is

180° - 160° = 20 {adjacent angles}

90 - 20 = 70° {the other part of right angle to the angle c}

c = 180° - 70°

c = 110°

Therefore, the measures of the the unknown angles are a = 110° , b = 250° and c = 110°.
