Question
![The question presented is: "If line \( m \parallel n \), which statement is true?"
The image shows two parallel lines, \( m \) and \( n \), cut by a transversal. The transversal intersects lines \( m \) and \( n \), creating various angles labeled as \( a, b, c, d, e, f, \) and \( g \). One of these angles is marked with a measure of \( 121^\circ \).
### Diagram Explanation:
- **Lines \( m \) and \( n \)**: These are parallel lines, indicated by the notation \( m \parallel n \).
- **Transversal**: A line that crosses both parallel lines, forming several angles at the points of intersection.
- **Angles**:
- **\( a, b, c, d, e, f, \) and \( g \)**: These angles are formed by the intersection of the transversal with lines \( m \) and \( n \).
- **Angle \( d \)**: Specifically marked as \( 121^\circ \).
### Observations:
- Since lines \( m \) and \( n \) are parallel, the following pairs of angles are congruent:
- Corresponding angles (e.g., \( a \) and \( c \), \( b \) and \( d \), etc.).
- Alternate interior angles (e.g., \( f \) and \( d \)).
- Alternate exterior angles.
- Consecutive interior angles are supplementary (their sum is \( 180^\circ \)).
Given these relationships, the correct statement regarding the truth of the angle parameters can be inferred based on the properties of parallel lines and the transversal.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F41246b41-0514-4655-8518-9db0e4990a43%2F09d6a2e1-d249-4b4e-9ea8-653bda5feb09%2Ff0ce5cg_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

![The image shows a diagram of two intersecting lines, creating several angles labeled as follows:
- The lines create angles a, b, c, d, e, f, and g.
- Angle c is given as 121°.
- The lines intersect at a common point forming a vertical angle pair and are extended to show each angle clearly.
Below the diagram, there are multiple-choice questions:
1. \( m \angle c = 59^\circ \)
2. \( m \angle e = 121^\circ \)
3. Vertical angles are supplementary
4. \( m \angle f = 121^\circ \)
The correct answer seems to be identifying angle e as being vertically opposite to angle c, implying \( m \angle e = 121^\circ \).
In geometry, vertical angles are congruent, meaning angles directly across from each other when two lines intersect are equal in measure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F41246b41-0514-4655-8518-9db0e4990a43%2F09d6a2e1-d249-4b4e-9ea8-653bda5feb09%2F6fa3k2_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
