Final answer:

The statement is TRUE. When two or more parallel lines are intersected with a transversal line, various unknown angles can be found by applying congruent angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is TRUE. When two or more parallel lines are intersected with a transversal line, various unknown angles can be found by applying congruent angles.

For example, consider the following situation:

Let two parallel lines be line a and line b.

Let a transversal line be line t that intersects a and b.

Angle A and angle B are congruent angles formed by the intersection of t with a and b respectively.

In this case, angle C and angle D formed by the intersection of t with a and b, respectively, are also congruent angles. Using this property, we can find unknown angles by applying congruent angles.
