If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line.

Parallel Postulate

If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point perpendicular to the given line

Perpendicular Postulate

Theorem 3.1: If two lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are ______

complementary

Theorem 3.3: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form _________

four right angles.

Corresponding Angles Postulate (CA)

if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem (AIA)

if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent
