Understanding Parallel Lines and Angles

The video tutorial explains a proof that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then consecutive interior angles are supplementary. It outlines a strategy using the corresponding angle postulate and linear pair postulate to demonstrate that angles three and five are supplementary. The proof is executed step-by-step, employing substitution to show the equality of angle measures. Additionally, alternative methods using the alternate interior angle theorem are discussed.
