Chapter 3 Theorems, Postulates, Converses, and Definitions

The flashcard set is all the theorems, postulates, converses, and definitions from Chapter 3 in my Geometry textbook. They are to help me memorize all of them because I have a test on Chapter 3.

What Postulate is this?If there is a line and a point not onthe line, then there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line.
Parallel Postulate
What postulate is this?If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point perpendicular to the given line.
Perpendicular Postulate
What definition is this?A line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points
