In the image, you're working on a proof for the **Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem** using a flowchart. The goal is to prove that lines \( l \parallel m \), given that the angles formed meet the conditions of the theorem.

Here's the breakdown:

1. **\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 2\)** is **Given**.
2. **\(\angle 2 \cong \angle 3\)** by the **Vertical Angles Theorem** (since \(\angle 2\) and \(\angle 3\) are vertically opposite).
3. Therefore, **\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 3\)** by the **Transitive Property** (if \(\angle 1 \cong \angle 2\) and \(\angle 2 \cong \angle 3\), then \(\angle 1 \cong \angle 3\)).
4. The conclusion is that **\( l \parallel m \)** based on the **Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem**.

To finish this proof, you should select **"Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem"** from the dropdown menu. This theorem states that if two alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines that form them must be parallel.

Would you like more details about this proof, or do you have any questions? 

Here are 5 questions related to this topic:
1. What is the difference between the Converse and the original Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem?
2. How does the Transitive Property work in geometry proofs?
3. Why are vertical angles always congruent?
4. Can alternate interior angles be used in a similar proof for parallel lines?
5. How would the proof change if the given information were different?

**Tip:** Always verify that the angles you are working with are either alternate interior or exterior when using these theorems, as the conditions change for each.
