because they are vertical angles.
If angle 1 is 110 degrees, then angle 3 is also 110 degrees because they are vertical angles.

If angle 1 is 110°
, then angle 3 is 70°
because they are complementary angles.
If angle 1 is 110 degrees, then angle 3 is 70 degrees because they are complementary angles.

To determine which statement is true about the angles based on the relationships provided, we need to understand the definitions of adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles:

1. **Adjacent Angles**: Two angles that share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap. This does not necessarily mean they are equal in measure.

2. **Vertical Angles**: Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. Vertical angles are always equal.

3. **Complementary Angles**: Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

4. **Supplementary Angles**: Two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Given that angle 1 is 110°, we can analyze each statement:

- **Statement about Adjacent Angles**: This is false because adjacent angles do not have to be equal in measure.

- **Statement about Vertical Angles**: This is true only if angle 3 is the vertical angle to angle 1, but we don't have that confirmation. We cannot declare it true without knowing the specific configuration of the angles.

- **Statement about Complementary Angles**: This is false because 110° + angle 3 cannot equal 90°.

- **Statement about Supplementary Angles**: This is true, as 110° + 70° = 180°. So, if angle 3 is supplementary to angle 1, it would be 70°.

Thus, the true statement based on the provided options is:

**If angle 1 is 110°, then angle 3 is 70° because they are supplementary angles.**
