Explanation:

1. In a geometric proof layout, the first element is typically the diagram as it provides a visual - representation of the problem.
2. When two lines intersect, the opposite (vertical) angles are congruent. This is a fundamental geometric property.
3. Consecutive (same - side) interior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal are supplementary. If one angle is 110°, the other is 180 - 110=70°.
4. Alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal are congruent. If one alternate interior angle is 65°, the other is also 65°.
5. In a flowchart proof, reasons are often represented by arrows connecting boxes.
6. Assuming ABCD is a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. If AB = 5x + 6 and BC = 3x+13, we set up the equation 5x + 6=3x + 13. Subtracting 3x from both sides gives 2x+6 = 13. Subtracting 6 from both sides gives 2x=7, and x = 3.5. But this option is not available. If we assume there is an error and it's a different property application, without more context, we can't be sure.
7. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. If angle C = 3x + 15 and angle M = 5x - 25, then 3x + 15=5x - 25. Subtracting 3x from both sides gives 15 = 2x - 25. Adding 25 to both sides gives 40 = 2x, so x = 20.
