#### Question 6 of 20

**Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.**

Below is a diagram showing two parallel lines intersected by a transversal. The angles formed are labeled with the numbers 1 through 8.

```
      /       /
  5 /4 | 2 /1 | 3
--/--/--/--/--/-- 
 /  /  /  /  /
6/ 7 8/      /
```

**Options:**

A. **∠3 ≅ ∠2** because they are alternate interior angles.

B. **m∠1 + m∠3 = 180°** because they form a straight angle.

C. **∠3 ≅ ∠6** because they are alternate interior angles.

D. **∠1 and ∠6 are supplementary** because **∠3 ≅ ∠6** and **m∠1 + m∠3 = 180°**.

---

**Explanations:**

- **Option A:** **False.** ∠3 and ∠2 are not alternate interior angles. Instead, ∠3 and ∠2 are corresponding angles when the transversal crosses the parallel lines.

- **Option B:** **True.** ∠1 and ∠3 together form a linear pair which means their measures add up to 180°. This forms a straight line.

- **Option C:** **True.** ∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles when the transversal crosses the parallel lines, thus they are equal.

- **Option D:** **False.** While ∠3 ≅ ∠6 is true, ∠1 and ∠6 are not supplementary simply because of this reason. Also, the relation m∠1 + m∠3 = 180° doesn't necessarily make ∠1 and ∠6 supplementary. They are not vertically opposite angles nor do they form a straight line together.

---

**Note:** The correctness of each statement relies on understanding the relationships and properties of angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines, such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and supplementary angles.
