Question

Use the figure to answer the question.

An inclined transversal passes through two vertical parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of upper M are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 1, 2, 4, and 3. The corresponding angles formed around the intersection point of upper N are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 5, 6, 8, and 7.
What is the relationship between angle 3 and angle 6?

Answer 1

alternate exterior angles

They are exterior to both parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal, so they are congruent (alternate exterior).
