State the converse of each statement.
1. If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
2. If mA + mB = 90°, then A and B are
complementary.
3. If AB + BC = AC, then A, B, and C are collinear.
If a + c = b + c, then a = b.
If A and  B are complementary,
then mA + mB =90°.
If A, B, and C are collinear, then AB + BC = AC.

Recall that the converse of a theorem is
found by exchanging the hypothesis and
conclusion. The converse of a theorem is not
automatically true. If it is true, it must be
stated as a postulate or proved as a separate
theorem.

The Converse of the Corresponding Angles
Postulate is used to construct parallel lines.
The Parallel Postulate guarantees that for any
line ℓ, you can always construct a parallel line
through a point that is not on ℓ.
