### Proof of Parallel Lines Using Angle Measures

To complete the proof that lines \( m \) and \( n \) are parallel, given the respective angle measures:

\[ \angle 8 = (4z + 25)^\circ \]
\[ \angle 6 = (5z + 12)^\circ \]
and 
\[ z = 13 \]

#### Diagram Explanation
The diagram includes:
1. Two lines \( m \) and \( n \) which are transverse by a third line.
2. Angles 1 through 8 are marked at the intersections.

#### Proof Structure
Here is the step-by-step proof with statements and reasons:

| **Statement** | **Reason** |
|---------------|------------|
| 1. \( \angle 8 = (4z + 25)^\circ \) | Given |
| 2. \( \angle 6 = (5z + 12)^\circ \) | Given |
| 3. \( z = 13 \) | Given |
| 4. Substitute \( 13 \) for \( z \) in \( \angle 8 = (4z + 25)^\circ \)  | \( \angle 8 = (4 \cdot 13 + 25)^\circ = 77^\circ \) |
| 5. Substitute \( 13 \) for \( z \) in \( \angle 6 = (5z + 12)^\circ \) | \( \angle 6 = (5 \cdot 13 + 12)^\circ = 77^\circ \) |
| 6. \( \angle 8 = \angle 6 \) | Transitive Property of Equality |
| 7. \( \angle 8 = 77^\circ \) and \( \angle 6 = 77^\circ \) | Substitution |
| 8. \( \angle 8 \cong \angle 6 \) | Definition of Congruent Angles |
| 9. \( m \parallel n \) | Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate |

This proof shows that within the given conditions, lines \( m \) and \( n \) are parallel because corresponding angles \( \angle 8 \) and \( \angle 6 \) are congruent.
