Postulate 15 Corresponding Angles Postulate: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Ex.1: The measure of three of the numbered angles is 120o. Identify the angles. Explain your reasoning.
Theorem 3.1 Alternate Interior Angles Thm: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. Theorem 3.2 Alternate Exterior Angles Thm: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. Theorem 3.3 Consecutive Interior Angles Thm: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
