Postulates and Theorems revolving Angles Flashcards
If a point lies on the interior of an angle, that angle is the sum of two smaller angles with legs that go through the given point.
Angle Addition Postulate
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
Corresponding Angles Postulate
Given a line and a point not on that line, there exists a unique line through the point parallel to the given line.
Parallel Postulate
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent.
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.
Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem
If two angles are vertical angles, then they have equal measures.
Vertical Angles Theorem
True or False
Points that lie on the same line also lie on the same plane as the line.
True
True or False
Postulates are accepted without proof and serve as fundamental principles in reasoning.
