The first star is closer to the earth than the second. The exact distances will depend on how large the angles are and also how far the star is away from the perpendicular to the earth's ecliptic. In any case, the distances will depend on trigonometric ratios and the distance to the first star will not be one tenth the distance unless the angles are very small.

What does par in parsec means?
parallax[parallax+second], in astronomy, basic unit of length for measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances, equal to 206,265 times the distance from the earth to the sun, 3.26 light-years, or 3.08×1013 km (about 19 million million mi). The distance in parsecs of an object from the earth is the reciprocal of the http://www.answers.com/topic/parallax of the object. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, has a parallax of 0.763″ of arc and a distance of about 1.31 parsecs.definition from Answers.com
