Answer 2

Let's draw the two parallel lines

Answer 3

ok :)

Answer 4

we don't know the first part, but we do know the second it says "...then it is perpendicular to the other."

Answer 5

mhmm

Answer 6

so pick one of the two lines and construct a perpendicular line to it

Answer 7

ok the first line the one with an angle

Answer 8

Railroad tracks can be assumed to be parallel. If you cross the 1st rail at a right angle, you'll cross the 2nd at a right angle as well.

Answer 9

oh wait...

Answer 10

so its intersecting?

Answer 11

its B parallel

Answer 12

you sure?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

both lines have to be parallel, if the one line is going to be perpendicular to both lines.

Answer 15

Answer 17

wait

Answer 19

sorry its perpendicular

Answer 20

so is the answer perpendicular?

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

ok thanks maaaan and thank you @jim_thompson5910

Answer 23

the perpendicular traversal theorem says that

Answer 24

mhmm
