We are asked to determine whether there is enough information to prove that a is parallel to b.

From the given figure, we can see that the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Recall the alternate interior angles converse,

For the given case, lines a and b are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent.

So, the alternate interior angles converse is applicable.

Therefore, we have enough information to conclude that lines a and b are parallel.
