Question

Which two statements are both true?

Answer 1

Answer: Choice (A)

Explanation:

#Tip: Use the process of elimination when dealing with a multiple choice question-

What is a perpendicular line? Two distinct lines intersecting each other at 90°, or a right angle.

What is a parallel line? Lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart, and will never intersect.

Step 1: Identify the Given-

• Lines MN and PQ are parallel lines.
• Lines MN and TU are perpendicular.
• Lines PQ and TU are perpendicular.

Step 2: Eliminate what does not apply to what you found-

Choice (A): True

Lines TU and MN are perpendicular. Lines MN and PQ are parallel

Choice (B): False

Lines PQ and TU are perpendicular. Lines PQ and RS are parallel

Choice (C): False

Lines MN and PQ are parallel. Lines UT and RS are perpendicular

Choice (D): False

Lines MN and RS perpendicular. Lines MN and PQ are perpendicular
