Question
How to I prove this and confirm my answer?

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
1. Complete a proof of the following in 2-column form.
**Given:** \( m\angle 3 + m\angle 8 = 180 \)
**Prove:** \( a \parallel b \)
---
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image includes a geometric diagram with two lines, labeled as \( a \) and \( b \), intersected by a transversal. The angles are labeled as 1 through 8, with angles specifically relevant to the problem being \( \angle 3 \) and \( \angle 8 \).
In the diagram:
- Lines \( a \) and \( b \) are depicted as parallel with a transversal crossing them, but the proof has to confirm their parallelism.
- Angle 3 is formed between the transversal and line \( a \).
- Angle 8 is an exterior angle on the opposite side of the transversal from angle 3, relative to line \( b \).
**Proof Explanation in Two-Column Form:**
The proof will involve demonstrating that the given condition about the angles leads to the conclusion that lines \( a \) and \( b \) are parallel based on angle relationships such as supplementary angles or alternate interior angles.
