Prove the corresponding angles postulate: Given: Line AB is Parallel to Line CD Prove: Corresponding angles are congruent

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|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

? @yakeyglee ?

hi, @uj1024

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, you forgot something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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