The theorems or postulates for the given pair of angles are as follows:

2. ∠2 ≅ ∠8 → Alternate exterior angles are congruent;

3. ∠2 ≅ ∠4 → Vertically opposite angles are congruent;

4. ∠3 ≅ ∠5 → Alternate interior angles are congruent;

5. ∠3 is supplementary to ∠6 → Consecutive interior angles are supplementary;

6. ∠4 ≅ ∠8 → Corresponding angles are congruent;

<h3>What are the types of pairs of angles?</h3>

Consider two lines m and n are parallel. A transversal t is intersecting the lines m and n.

So, it forms 8 angles with the lines m and n. They are ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7, and ∠8.

Based on their position, they are paired into different categories. Such as:

Interior angles: ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6

Exterior angles: ∠1, ∠2, ∠7, ∠8

'Alternate interior angles' are the pair of interior angles on the opposite side of the transversal 't'. I.e., (∠3, ∠5), (∠4, ∠6) are congruent.
'Alternate exterior angles' are the pair of exterior angles which are on the opposite side of the transversal 't'. I.e., (∠2, ∠8), (∠1, ∠7) are congruent.
'Consecutive interior angles' are the pair of interior angles which are on the same side of the transversal 't'. I.e., (∠3, ∠6), (∠4, ∠5). These are also called "Supplementary angles" which mean they add up to 180°.
'Consecutive exterior angles' are the pair of exterior angles on the same side of the transversal 't'. I.e., (∠2, ∠7), (∠1, ∠8). These are also called "Supplementary angles" which mean they add up to 180°.
'Vertically opposite angles' are the pair of angles that are opposite to each other at the point of intersection. I.e., (∠1, ∠3), (∠2, ∠4), (∠5, ∠7), (∠6, ∠8)
'Corresponding angles' are the pair of consecutive angles in which one of the angles is exterior and the other is interior. I.e., (∠1, ∠5), (∠2, ∠6), (∠4, ∠8), (∠3, ∠7)

<h3>Theorems or postulates for the given pair of angles:</h3>

Classifying the given pair of angles and their corresponding theorems:

2. ∠2 ≅ ∠8 → These angles belong to pair of Alternate exterior angles.

Theorem - "The alternate exterior angles are congruent"

3. ∠2 ≅ ∠4 → These belong to pair of vertically opposite angles.

Theorem - "The verticle angles are congruent"

4. ∠3 ≅ ∠5 → These belong to pair of alternate interior angles.

Theorem - "The alternate interior angles are congruent"

5. ∠3 is supplementary to ∠6 → These angles belong to pair of consecutive interior angles. Thus, they are supplementary.

Theorem - " The supplementary angles add up to 180°"

6. ∠4 ≅ ∠8 → These angles belong to pair of corresponding angles.

Theorem - " The corresponding angles are congruent".
