To prove that lines \( p \parallel q \) given that \( r \parallel s \) and \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \), you can follow these steps with appropriate reasons:

  1. Statement: \( r \parallel s \), \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \)
    Reason: Given

  2. Statement: \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \)
    Reason: Corresponding Angles Postulate (since \( r \) and \( s \) are parallel, and \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) are corresponding angles)

  3. Statement: \( \angle 2 \cong \angle 3 \)
    Reason: Transitive Property of Congruence (since \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \))

  4. Statement: \( p \parallel q \)
    Reason: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem (since \( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 3 \) are alternate interior angles, and they are congruent)

So the complete proof would look like this:

  1. \( r \parallel s \), \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \) (Given)
  2. \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \) (Corresponding Angles Postulate)
  3. \( \angle 2 \cong \angle 3 \) (Transitive Property of Congruence)
  4. \( p \parallel q \) (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

You would fill in the matches as follows:

  1. Given
  2. Corresponding Angles Postulate
  3. Transitive Property of Congruence
  4. Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
