What is a Theorem?

Theorems are a way for mathematicians to make a general mathematical statement. These statements can be used to help you solve all sorts of problems! See an introductions to theorems with this tutorial.
How Do You Use Parallel and Perpendicular Theorems to Prove a Relationship Between Two Lines?

Parallel and perpendicular lines can be found in all sorts of places! In this tutorial, see how to use your knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines to solve a word problem.
What is the Corresponding Angles Postulate?

When a transversal intersects parallel lines, the corresponding angles created have a special relationship. The corresponding angles postulate looks at that relationship! Follow along with this tutorial to learn about this postulate.
What is the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate?

The corresponding angles postulate states that when a transversal intersects parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. What if you go the other way and start with corresponding angles that are congruent? Is the converse of this postulate true? This tutorial explores exactly that!
How Can You Tell if a Point is on the Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment?

If you want to determine if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and its converse might come in handy. This tutorial gives a great example of how to tell if a given point is a perpendicular bisector of a segment!
