Which angle is a consecutive interior angle with angle 6?

First, use context clues! There's interior - the angle you seek will be inside the two lines And consecutive - here it means that it's on the same side, just like consecutive things are together.

Any guesses?

angle 3?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Nope! 3 can't be called "interior," right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (theeric):

Nope? The "consecutive" part means that you're looking for an angle on the same side of the transversal. (The transversal is the line that lays on the parallel lines.)
