1) The document discusses parallel lines and transversals. It defines the corresponding angles postulate, the alternate interior angles theorem, and the alternate exterior angles theorem.
2) These state that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent, the alternate interior angles are congruent, and the alternate exterior angles are congruent.
3) It also presents the consecutive interior angles theorem, which states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the sum of any pair of consecutive interior angles is 180 degrees.
