Exercise 53 Page 425

Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles.

See solution.

Practice makes perfect
We are told that Route 10 runs perpendicular to Interstate 95 and Interstate 295. Let's recall that perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles. Thus, ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are the right angles.

Theorem 2.10 states that all right angles are congruent. Using this theorem, we conclude that ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are congruent angles.
