Question

Which statement shows the difference in constructing a pair of parallel lines and a pair of perpendicular lines?

A congruent angle is constructed only when constructing a pair of parallel lines and not when constructing a pair of perpendicular lines.

A compass is required only when constructing a pair of parallel lines and not when constructing a pair of perpendicular lines.

An angle bisector is constructed only when constructing a pair of parallel lines and not when creating a pair of perpendicular lines.

Intersecting arcs are formed only when constructing a pair of perpendicular lines and not when constructing a pair of parallel lines.

Answer 1

is that all of it or did it cut you off?

Answer 2

"A compass is required only when constructing a pair of parallel lines and not when constructing a pair of perpendicular lines. "

is completely false since you need a compass for both

so choice B is out

Answer 3

"Intersecting arcs are formed only when constructing a pair of perpendicular lines and not when constructing a pair of parallel lines."

is also false. When you use a compass to create the arcs for both, those arcs will intersect (which is the intended point)


this means choice D is out

Answer 4

"An angle bisector is constructed only when constructing a pair of parallel lines and not when creating a pair of perpendicular lines."

is false because you don't use an angle bisector (you construct a congruent angle, but not the angle bisector)

so C is out

Answer 5

so it's a? thank you for all your help!!

Answer 6

it is A, you got it
