Question 104112: Given angle 1 is =(squiggly line on top of the equal sign) to angle 2
and angle 3 ia =(squiggly line on top of the equal sign) to angle 4
Prove: a is parallel to c
there's a picture and here's a description of what it looks like:
There are 3 horizontal lines, line a is the top most one, line b is in the middle, and line c is the bottom most one, (theses are all horizontal)
Then there are 2 vertical lines going through all three of the horizontal lines. (these vertical lines are kind of slanted).
In between line b and c, there are the numbers 1 and 2. Number 1 is on the left of the vertical line that is closest to b and c and it is under line b in the top left side of the vertical line. and number 2 is the opposite of number 1,(i think these are alternate interior angles or numbers).
Then there's a number 3 located on the other vertical line, that is going through line a. the number 3 is on top of line a, and to the right of the second vertical line going through all three horizontal lines.
Lastly number 4 is located under line b, but to the right of the 2nd vertical line. So that it is corresponding to number 1.
Please help me prove this problem.

It is really difficult to understand your description, the way you describe angle 2, it is not an alternate interior angle to 1, and it is not congruent(which is what that squiggly line means). Could they be alternate exterior angles? If so, they are congruent. Or maybe angle 2 is diagonal to angle 1, then they are vertical angles and they are congruent. Angle 3 and Angle 4 are alternate exterior angles, which make them congruent. I hope this is helpful, I could help better if I could see the actual picture. Good Luck
:)
