1. **Problem Statement:** Given that $\angle 11 \cong \angle 2$, determine which lines are parallel and state the postulate or theorem that justifies your answer.
2. **Identify the angles and lines:**
- $\angle 11$ and $\angle 2$ are congruent.
- Lines involved are $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$.
3. **Recall relevant postulates/theorems:**
- Corresponding Angles Postulate Converse: If corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
- Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Converse: If alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
4. **Analyze the given angles:**
- $\angle 11$ and $\angle 2$ are positioned such that they are alternate interior angles formed by lines $c$ and $d$.
5. **Conclusion:**
- Since $\angle 11 \cong \angle 2$ and they are alternate interior angles, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Converse, lines $c$ and $d$ are parallel.
**Final answer:**
$$ c \parallel d \quad \text{by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Converse} $$
