A diagram of parallelogram MNOP is attached below
We have side MN || side OP and side MP || NO
Using the rule of angles in parallel lines, ∠M and ∠P are supplementary as well as ∠M and ∠N.
Since ∠M+∠P = 180° and ∠M+∠N=180°, we can conclude that ∠P and ∠N are of equal size.
∠N and ∠O are supplementary by the rules of angles in parallel lines
∠O and ∠P are supplementary by the rules of angles in parallel lines
∠N+∠O=180° and ∠O+∠P=180°
∠N and ∠P are of equal size
we deduce further that ∠M and ∠O are of equal size
Hence, the correct statement to complete the proof is
<span>∠M ≅ ∠O; ∠N ≅ ∠P
</span>
