Question

A baseball diamond has four bases, one at each corner. The baseline from first base to second base is parallel to the baseline from third base to home plate. The baselines from home plate to first base and from third base to second base are both perpendicular to the baseline from first base to second base. Which of the following theorems or postulates allows you to conclude the baseline from third base to second base is parallel to the baseline from home plate to first base?

A. Alternate Interior Angles Converse Theorem

B. If two lines are parallel to the same line, then they are paralle

Answer 1

to each other.

C. Corresponding Angles Converse Postulate

D. In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.

Answer 2

draw it out

Answer 3

The baseline from first base to second base is parallel to the baseline from third base to home plate.

Answer 4

next,

The baselines from home plate to first base and from third base to second base are both perpendicular to the baseline from first base to second base.
