Question 1124435: Can you help me with this “write a two-column proof” problem:
Given : segment JK is parallel to segment PL, angle 1 is congruent to angle 2
Prove : angle 3 is congruent to angle 4

From your post,  it is unclear what the angles 1, 2, 3 and 4  are; unclear how they are inter-related and how they relate to the segments.

So,  at given conditions I can not help you.


But I can do better:  I will give you the reference to the lesson,  where you will find a lot of interesting facts and proofs
related to angles at parallel lines and transverse lines :

    - Angles basics
    - Vertical angles
    - Parallel lines (*)
    - HOW TO solve problems on supplementary, complementary or vertical angles - Examples
    - HOW TO solve problems on parallel lines - Examples (**)
in this site.

These lessons are  (*)  and  (**)  of the list.


And one more hint:  start writing the proof without using  "the two column format".
