Exercise 16 Page 535

Consider the Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal Theorem

a ∥ b

Practice makes perfect

According to the Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal Theorem, lines that are perpendicular to the same line are parallel to each other.

Let's first look at a and b. These lines are both perpendicular to n so therefore, a and b have to be parallel.

Other than that, there are no more lines where we know they are parallel.
