Let us assume that AB∥CDPQ is perpendicular to AB
Let us assume that AB∥CDPQ is perpendicular to ABWe have to prove that PQ is perpendicular to CD
Let us assume that AB∥CDPQ is perpendicular to ABWe have to prove that PQ is perpendicular to CD∠PQB=90 degree (given)
Let us assume that AB∥CDPQ is perpendicular to ABWe have to prove that PQ is perpendicular to CD∠PQB=90 degree (given)∴ ∠QRD=∠PQB=90 degree.
∠QRD=∠PQB=90 degree.
∠QRD=∠PQB=90 degree. Corresponding angles of parallel lines
∴ PQ is perpendicular to CD.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that AB∥CD
PQ is perpendicular to AB
We have to prove that PQ is perpendicular to CD
∠PQB=90 degree
(given)
∴∠QRD=∠PQB=90 degree
Corresponding angles of parallel lines
∴PQ is perpendicular to CD
