If two lines are intersected by a transversal so that the corresponding angles are congruent then the lines are perpendicular?
false
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent?
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is the transversal postulate. So the answer is the lines would be parallel. This means that the statement is true.
Is it true that if two lines are crossed by a transversal the two lines are parallel?
A transversal is simply any line that passes through two or more coplanar lines each at different points. So picture, if you will, two lines that are clearly not parallel. I can easily construct a transversal that passes through them. HOWEVER, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is called the transversal postulate. If the corresponding angles are congruent, than the lines are parallel. This is the converse of the first postulate. So, the answer to your question is NO, unless the corresponding angles are congruent.
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent.?
true
Which angle pairs are always congruent if a transversal cuts two parallel lines?
The corresponding and alternate angles

Corresponding angles formed when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal are congruent?

How can you prove that a constructed line is parallel to a given line if the transversal in not perpendicular?
Show that corresponding angles are congruent?
Can all alternate interior and corresponding angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal be congruent?
Sure. Just as long as the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines.
What happen to a transversal intersect two parallel line?
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. If the corresponding angles are congruent then the two lines being intersected are parallel and vice verso.

true
If two lines are cut by a transversal are the corresponding angles congruent?
No. Angles are not congruent. (Triangles may be congruent.)
