Theorem 3.5 If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

Given: line AB is parallel to line CD
Prove: Corresponding angles are congruent
Proof:

you have already learned vertical angles are congruent and corresponding angles are
congruent if they are formed by parallel lines
using this information we can go on to prove alternate interior angles are also congruent if they are formed by parallel lines

since the lines are parallel, than
< 1 and < 3 are congruent,
< 2 and < 3 are vertical angles
you have studied a theorem that states all vertical angles are congruent, so
that means < 1 congruent to < 3 because they are corresponding angles,
and < 2 congruent to < 3 because they are vertical angles,
that means < 1 must be congruent to < 3
