(see below)

Explanation:

Given #ABCD# is a parallelogram.
#{: ((bar(AB) |\| bar(CD)), color(white)("XX") | color(white)("XX"),"definition of parallelogram"), (/_A+/_B="straight line",color(white)("XX")|color(white)("XX"),"Euclid's Fifth Postulate"), (/_A " and "/_B " are supplementary",color(white)("XX")|color(white)("XX"),"definition of supplementary") :}#
Similarly for #/_B " and " /_C#

Note: Euclid's Fifth Postulate is a defining characteristic of Euclidean space.
