Parallel Lines and Transversals

The relationships between angle pairs formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal are stated in the following postulate and theorems.

Postulate. Corresponding Angles Postulate (CAP)
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles is congruent.

Refer to the given figure. If m∥n, then ∠1≅∠5, ∠2≅∠6, ∠3≅∠7, and ∠4≅∠8.
