Understanding Alternate Interior Angles Converse

The video tutorial provides a proof of the alternate interior angles converse theorem, which states that if two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. The proof is based on the corresponding angles converse postulate. The tutorial outlines a strategy to show that corresponding angles are congruent, thereby proving the lines are parallel. The proof involves using the properties of vertical angles and the transitive property to establish congruence between angles, ultimately concluding that the lines are parallel.
