Take the following:

a \ b
---\---------->
d \ c
\
\
e \ f
--------\------>
g \ h

Corresponding angles are equal, 4 pairs of corresponding angles are formed.

a=e, b=f, d=g, c=h

However I now have this one here:

\
---\---------->
d \ c
\
\
e \ f
--------\------>
\

Alternate angles are equal
2 pairs of alternate angles are formed
d=f and c=e

I am fine with that as the imediate above is using only 2 pairs of angles....

Now this one..

\
---\---------->
d \ c
\
\
e \ f
--------\------>
\

Cointerior angles are supplementary
2 pairs of cointerior angles are formed

d+e = 180 degrees and c+f = 180 degrees

Now why wont d + c (or e + f) = 180 degrees??
