Given: Lines p and q are parallel and r is a transversal.

Prove: ∠2 ≅ ∠7
Parallel lines p and q are cut by transversal r. On line p where it intersects with line r, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from the uppercase left, the angles are: 1, 2, 4, 3. On line q where it intersects with line r, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from the uppercase left, the angles are: 5, 6, 8, 7.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled statements with the entries p is parallel to q and r is a transversal, A, B, angle 2 is congruent to angle 7. Column 2 is labeled reasons with the entries given, vertical angles are congruent, correlated angle theorem, transitive property.

The statements that would complete the proof where ∠2 ≅ ∠7 by the transitive property are:

∠2 ≅ ∠3

∠3 ≅ ∠7

The transitive property states that if x = y, and y = z, then x = z.

From the image given below, we have:

∠2 ≅ ∠3 because they are vertical angles which must be congruent.

∠3 ≅ ∠7 because corresponding angles are congruent.

Applying the transitive property, we can state that: ∠2 ≅ ∠7.

Therefore, the statements that would complete the proof are:
