Answer:

- Angle 'a' is an alternating exterior angle with one angle in the triangle and therefore congruent to one angle in the triangle formed by lines m, x, and y.

- Angles 'b' and 'c' are vertical angles with the other two angles in the triangle and therefore congruent to two other angles in the triangle

Explanation:

Vertical angles are angles that are equal to each other but in opposite direction. The angles b and c have vertical angles on the triangle Q while alternate exterior angles are equal angles that lie on different lanes cutting through an axis.

Angles on a plane can be congruent if they are vertical equals or alternating exterior angles.
