Hey, real quick, would the principle, "Corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent" be a definition, a postulate, or a theorem? I'm thinking a definition, but I'm not too sure. Does anyone know for sure?

Theorem, fact, has to be true...

I'm not sure, but I'll tell you it's definitely not a definition. Anything that states a law or rule is a postulate/theorem.

definition - look at your textbook's definition of congruent triangles (or polygons in general).
