SOLUTION: The relationship between corresponding angles is stated as a postulate, but the relationships between alternate interior angles, consecutive interior angles, and alternate exterior

Question 98542: The relationship between corresponding angles is stated as a postulate, but the relationships between alternate interior angles, consecutive interior angles, and alternate exterior angles are stated as theorems. Explain the difference

Theorem is a statement that can be justified by logical reasoning and must
be proven before it is accepted as true.
Postulate is a rule of geometry that is accepted as being true without proof
