Step-by-step explanation:

1. AD ≅ BC, AD ║ BC . . . . given

2. ∠DAC ≅ ∠BCA . . . . alternate interior angles theorem

3. AC ≅AC . . . . reflexive property

4. ΔDAC ≅ ΔBCA . . . . SAS postulate

5. AB ≅ CD, ∠BAC ≅ ∠DCA . . . . CPCTC

6. AB ║ CD . . . . converse of alternate interior angles theorem

7. ABCD is a parallelogram . . . . definition of a parallelogram (has 2 pairs of parallel & congruent sides)

We don't know what your tiles/choices are for statements or reasons. We have shown the triangles are congruent, so their corresponding parts (sides/angles) are congruent. That lets us claim opposite sides are congruent and parallel. YMMV
