**PROOF**
| CONCLUSIONS | JUSTIFICATIONS |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| (1) Parallel lines \( \ell \) and \( m \) intersect a transversal \( t \) at \( P \) and \( Q \), with alternate interior angles \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \). | Given |
| (2) Suppose \( m \angle 1 \neq m \angle 2 \), and, for sake of argument, \( m \angle 1 > m \angle 2 \). (The proof is virtually the same if \( m \angle 1 < m \angle 2 \).) | Assumption for indirect proof |
| (3) Construct ray \( \overrightarrow{PR} \) on the opposite side of \( t \) as \( \angle 2 \) so that \( m \angle QPR = m \angle 2 \). | Angle Construction Theorem |
| (4) Then line \( \overline{RP} \) (\( = m' \)) is parallel to \( \ell \). | _________? |
| (5) Thus, \( m' \parallel \ell \) and \( m \parallel \ell \). | _________? |
| (6) Therefore, \( m \angle 1 = m \angle 2 \) or \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \). | _________? |
**Diagrams**
The proof includes a diagram with two parts:
1. **Left Diagram**: Shows parallel lines \( \ell \) and \( m \) with a transversal \( t \) intersecting them at points \( P \) and \( Q \). Alternate interior angles \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) are marked at points \( P \) and \( Q \), respectively.
2. **Right Diagram**: Illustrates the constructed ray \( \overrightarrow{PR} \) on the opposite side of \( t \) from \( \angle 2 \), forming angle \( \angle QPR = \angle 2 \). The new line \( m' \), which is shown as parallel to \( \ell \), is also depicted.
