Line c is parallel to d. Line f is parallel to g. Line f is perpendicular to c. All lines are in the same plane. What other line must line f be perpendicular to?

Respuesta :

You can solve this problem by looking at the slopes: lines c and d will have the same slope [tex]m_{cd}[/tex], because they are parallel. Similarly, lines f and g will have the same slope [tex]m_{fg}[/tex], because they are parallel.

Now, if f and c are perpendicular, is means that

[tex]m_{cd}=-\dfrac{1}{m_{fg}}[/tex]

So, the complete scenario is the following:

  • c and d are parallel
  • c and f are perpendicular
  • c and g are perpendicular
  • d and f are perpendicular
  • d and g are perpendicular
  • f and g are parallel.
