Question

If 2 straight lines are perpendicular to the same line prove that they are parallel to each other

Answer 1

Answer:

If a transversal cuts two lines and if the sum of the corresponding angles are equal, then,the two given lines are parallel to each other.

In the given case,

Both the lines are perpendicular to the transversal. So, the corresponding angles are equal to 90 degrees.

Hence,both the given lines are parallel to each other.

I hope this clears your doubts:)
