<p>Well, the two lines going / / are NOT necessarily parallel.</p>

<p>See my illustration :D</p>

<p>a is not one of the marked arrows. b,c, and d are, and they are 30 degrees.</p>

<p>omgg! I just missed the the information, "marked with arrows'!! Silly mistakes like this lead me into getting the question totally wrong. =P I understand that the lines don't necessarily have to be parallel. I just counted angle a as one of the angles =P thanks for the diagram and explanation though! It helped me figure out what I missed lol.</p>
