Let's draw a diagram to represent this situation.

As you can observe in the image above, b, c, and d are parallel. Since b is perpendicular to a, then d is also perpendicular to a because it has the same slope as b, or the same angle of intersection.

Therefore, a and d are perpendicular.

How are a and d related? a is perpendicular to b, b is parallel to c, and c is parallel-example-1
