    I took geometry in high school back in the 1980's.
    I don't recall how to organize the information needed to complete the proof using the statement vs reason chart.

    given:

    DC || AB and AD || BC


    prove:

    triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDA

    statement.......................................reason

    1. DC || AB and AD || BC................given
    2. < DCA=<CAB ............alternative interior angles with parallel lines
    3. <DAC= < ACB...........alternative interior angles with parallel lines
    4. AC = AC........................identity (common side)
    5. ∆ ADC = ∆ CDA....................ASA
