1. 3-3 Proving Lines Parallel:
Recall that the converse of a theorem is found by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion. The converse of a theorem is not automatically true. If it is true, it must be stated as a postulate or proved as a separate theorem.

2. Thrm 3.5: Converse Corresponding Angles Theorem
NOTE: Again, many textbooks state this as a postulate however this author argues that a parallel line is a rigid transformation and thus the angles are also a rigid transformation.
