Given: Lines a and b are parallel and line c is a transversal.
Prove: Angle2 is supplementary to Angle8

Horizontal and parallel lines a and b are cut by transversal c. On line a where it intersects line c, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from uppercase left, the angles are: 1, 2, 4, 3. On line b where it intersects line c, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from uppercase left, the angles are: 5, 6, 8, 7.
