Well, it's not a postulate if you can prove it. Then it's a theorem. Anyway, drawing a vertical line that intersects the midpoint of the transversal may help.|dw:1340065889146:dw|

ooh,. I see how i can prove it now. TNX! :)

No problem! :-)

We can draw a line perpendicular to AB. Because AB and CD parallel, the line is also perpendicular to CD. So now we have created a quadrilateral with angles 90 degrees, 90 degrees, angle #4, and angle #5.
Would this be correct?

hey, you forgot something
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what?

Hmm yeah that works. I was more going for the congruent triangles, but that works too. :)
