Question

∠3 and ∠6 form which type of angle pair?
a. corresponding angles
b. alternate interior angles
c. consecutive interior angles
d. alternate exterior angles

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - pair definitions

• Corresponding angles: In the same relative position.
• Alternate interior angles: Between two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
• Consecutive interior angles: Between two lines and on the same side of the transversal.
• Alternate exterior angles: Outside two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Step2: Analyze \(\angle3\) and \(\angle6\)

• \(\angle3\) and \(\angle6\) are between the two lines (formed by the intersection of the transversal with the other two lines) and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Answer:

B. alternate interior angles
