We can prove this theorem using the previous postulate.
Theorem

Theorem

If a transversal is perpendicular to one of
two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular
to the other line.
Planning Its Proof

If a transversal is perpendicular to one of
two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular
to the other line.
