Does the figure look something like this:



If so, then here's a two column proof
StatementReason
1. Angle AKE = Angle REKGiven
2. Angle 1 = Angle 4Given
3. Angle 1 + Angle 2 = Angle AKEAngle Addition Postulate
4. Angle 3 + Angle 4 = Angle REKAngle Addition Postulate
5. Angle 1 + Angle 2 = Angle 3 + Angle 4Substitution (see statement 1)
6. Angle 4 + Angle 2 = Angle 3 + Angle 4Substitution
7. Angle 2 = Angle 3Addition Property of Equality
8. Segment SK is parallel to Segment TE Alternate Interior Angles Converse
