Answer:

Angle KMP is congruent to angle LNP because they are alternate interior angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate interior angles are angles inside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

KM and NL are parallel to one another.  KMP and LNP both fall between the parallel lines; this makes them interior.

KL is a transversal for the two parallel lines.  KMP and LNP are on opposite sides of the transversal; this makes them alternate.

Therefore they are alternate interior angles.
