Calculate unknown angle measures and formally prove parallel line properties and their converses.
Understand and apply geometric axiomatic facts and definitions (points, lines, planes, segments, angles, perpendiculars, transversals); solve problems using angle relationships (supplementary, complementary, vertically opposite, alternate interior, corresponding, interior consecutive angles).
Understand logical proof structures (definitions, propositions, converse, direct proof, proof by contradiction, counterexamples) and construct rigorous synthetic geometric proofs.
