PARALLEL LINES AND TRANSVERSALS
CORRESPONDING ANGLES POSTULATE Two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if and only if the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES THEOREM Two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if and only if the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.
ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES THEOREM Two lines but by a transversal are parallel if and only if the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent.
CONSECUTIVE INTERIOR ANGLES THEOREM Two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if and only if the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
CONSECUTIVE EXTERIOR ANGLES THEOREM Two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if and only if the pairs of consecutive exterior angles are supplementary.
