Step-by-step explanation:

Statement . . . . Reason

1. AB ║ LD . . . . definition of parallelogram*

2. ∠LKC ≅ ∠AKB . . . . vertical angles are congruent

3. ∠BAK ≅ ∠CLK . . . . alternate interior angles at a transversal are congruent

4. ΔABK ~ ΔLCK . . . . AA similarity postulate

_____

* We suppose that ABCD being a parallelogram shows only that CD║AB. However, point L is shown as being on line CD, so we can claim AB║LD by virtue of the fact that opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, and any part of one parallel line is parallel to any part of the other one.
