hmm i dunno looks like the last one is true for sure right?

OpenStudy (princeevee):

i guess...

satellite73 (satellite73):

this makes my head spin

OpenStudy (princeevee):

and you are a math guru XD

satellite73 (satellite73):

not when it comes to geometry i am not

OpenStudy (mathmate):

It also makes my head spin, because the question does not say which segments are collinear, or not. In geometry, when things are not given, they cannot be assumed to be true. What looks parallel must be told they are parallel, and same with what looks perpendicular, or what looks collinear. Otherwise they are not. I have seen many geometry questions that do not follow standard geometry guidelines, and this is one of them. Here, it says CN//KT, which tells us CJ and JN are collinear (at least a good assumption), and KV,VT are collinear. Nothing tells me that LC and CK are collinear, similarly EJ and JV, QN and NT. So if I give an opinion, I would be assuming things that are not given. Also, none of the options can be true without assuming collinearity of the vertical segments. Sorry, I'll pass this one.
