Congruent Supplements Theorem

States that if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent.
This theorem applies when angles are supplementary to either the same angle or congruent angles.

Converse of Congruent Supplements Theorem

If two angles are congruent, they are supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles.

Alternate Interior Angles

Defined as the angles situated between two lines on opposite sides of a transversal.
Useful in determining relationships between angles in parallel lines and transversals.

Alternate Exterior Angles

These angles lie outside a pair of lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.
They can help determine if lines are parallel based on their congruence.

Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
This theorem is key in analyzing angles formed by parallel lines.

Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

If alternate interior angles created by a transversal are congruent, then the two lines being crossed are parallel.

Corresponding Angles Postulate

States that if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the corresponding angles formed are congruent.
This postulate is pivotal in angle relationships within parallel line setups.

Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate

If two coplanar lines are intersected by a transversal and a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines must be parallel.
This postulate aids in proving parallelism between lines based on angle measures.
