anonymous · Answer

"Alternate" means on different sides of the transversal line.
"Interior" means inside (between) the parallel lines.

anonymous · Answer

so its 6 because that number is on the otside and congruent to 7?

anonymous · Answer

Angle 6 is vertical to angle 7, and angle 4 is a consecutive (same-side) interior angle to angle 7.

anonymous · Answer

If it's on the outside, then it is not an "interior" angle.

anonymous · Answer

okay , so they want me to find the alternate angle of 7, so its 6?

anonymous · Answer

??
Why do you keep saying 6? I already told you that 6 and 7 are vertical angles, and 6 is not interior.

anonymous · Answer

but they are asking me for the alternate angle of 7?
