You can see from the diagram that:

1. A transversal line runs through the two parallel lines P and Q

2. Angles 1 and 7 are alternate interior angles, which means that they are on alternate sides of the transversal line that is drawn

3. Both angles 1 and 7 are also vertical angles.

These three points identified show that angle 1 and angle 7 are congruent
