Answer:

angle E < angle B

Explanation:

On the diagram, we see that the adjacent (side) lines of both angles are equal to each other, so the only difference is the opposed line. One measures 6 the other measures 8.

Since one is longer than the other (while the other lines are equal), that means the angle B is wider, more open, so bigger.

If the angles were the same, considering the adjacent lines are equal, the opposed lines would also be equal.
