The Parallel Postulate

In the figure below, AB and CD are parallel lines. EF is a transversal.
This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't have Java installed, please go to www.java.com

The parallel postulate states that given two parallel lines (on the same plane) and a transversal, their corresponding angles are congruent. Using this postulate as shown above, determine the measure of the other angles and record your observations. Make a conjecture about them.
