Geometry begins with assumptions about certain things that are difficult, if not impossible to prove, and flows on things that can be proven. The assumptions that geometries logic is based on is called postulates. Sometimes. A transversal is a line the crosses at least two other lines.

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.


What is CACP postulate?

Given two lines cut by a transversal, if corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.


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.


What is CACP postulate and examples of this?

Given two lines cut by a transversal, if corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.


What is the linear pair postulate?

1. Where the angles in a linear pair are supplementry, and if parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the interior angles are congruent, and if two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel. That's what makes up a linear pair postulate anyway. 2. If two adjacent angle's unshared sides form a straight angle, then they are a linear pair. 3.If two angles form a linear pair,then they are supplementary.
