Answer:

angle 5

Explanation:

Given transversal x crossing lines y and z and angles numbered 1 to 8, you want the number of the angle that is an alternate interior angle to angle 4.

Alternate interior angles

In this context, "alternate" mean the angles are on opposite sides of the transversal. "Interior" means the angles are between the lines the transversal crosses.

The term "alternate interior angles" is used to refer to angles that have their vertices at the intersection points where the two lines cross the transversal. (It excludes angles that have the same vertex, or do not share a side.)

The angle that is an alternate interior angle relative to angle 4 is angle 5.
