Some Consequences of the Parallel Postulate

The Parallel Postulate

If a straight line crossing two straight lines makes the alternate angles equal to one another, the straight lines will be parallel to one another. Euclid's Fifth Postulate

Here is the construction

Given a line and a point, construct a line through the point, parallel to the given line.

Theorem:

In a plane, two lines parallel to a third line are parallel to each other.

Perpendicular Lines

Theorems:
In a plane, through a point on a line there is exactly one line perpendicular to the line

Through a point not on a line, there is exactly one line perpendicular to the line.

The book shows some constructions -- look at these similar ones online:

Proving Lines Parallel

Definition of a Parallel:

Two lines are parallel iff they lie in the same plane and do not intersect
