Step-by-step explanation:

You want a proof that angle 6 is congruent to angle 3.

Statement . . . . Reason

1. a║b, p║q . . . . given

2. The enclosed area is a parallelogram . . . . definition of a parallelogram

3. ∠6 ≅ ∠3 . . . . opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent

__

Additional comment

You may be expected to use the angle relations around parallel lines:

2. ∠6≅∠8 . . . . alternate interior angles are congruent

3. ∠8≅∠3 . . . . corresponding angles are congruent

4. ∠6≅∠3 . . . . transitive property of congruence
