2. Postulate 3.4 If 2 lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. 60

3. Parallel Line Theorems (3.5-3.8) If 2 lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate exterior angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel. If 2 lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of consecutive interior angles is supplementary, then the lines are parallel. If 2 lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel.

4. In a plane, if 2 lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel.

5. Postulates Through a point outside a line, there is exactly one line parallel to the given line. Through a point outside a line, there is exactly one line perpendicular ot the given line.

6. Theorem 2 lines parallel to a 3 rd line are parallel to each other.
