Answer:

The correct option is;

Alternate interior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

The m∠5 + m∠2 + m∠6 = 180° proof is given as follows;

Statement                [tex]{}[/tex]                        Reason

1. ABC is a triangle              [tex]{}[/tex]             Given

2. y ║ z                                [tex]{}[/tex]              Given

3. ∠1 ≅ ∠5; ∠3 ≅ ∠6                         Alternate interior angles

4. m∠1 = m∠5; m∠3 = m∠6        [tex]{}[/tex]       Definition of (congruency) ≅

5. m∠1 + m∠2 + ∠3 = m∠LAM        [tex]{}[/tex]  ∠Addition postulate

6. m∠1 + m∠2 + ∠3 = 180°        [tex]{}[/tex]        Definition of straight angles

7. m∠5 + m∠2 + ∠6 = 180°        [tex]{}[/tex]        Substitution property

Step 3;

Given that line y is parallel to line z, we have that the transversal AB will make equal corresponding angles with the lines y and z, therefore, ∠6 will be equivalent to segment AB extended

Which gives, ∠6 is supplementary to ∠a where ∠a = ∠1 + ∠2

Therefore, given that ∠3 is also supplementary to ∠a where as we have above, ∠a = ∠1 + ∠2, we have that ∠3 = ∠6 and ∠3 ≅ ∠6 where ∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles;

Similarly, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 by alternate interior angles of two parallel lines property.
