Answer:

(D)Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles and congruent segments do not have equal length: false

Step-by-step explanation:


\begin{gathered} \text{P: Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles.} \\ \text{S: Congruent segments have equal length. } \\ \text{The negation of S } \\ \\eg S\colon C\text{ongruent segments do not have equal length} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the compound statement P^~S will be:

P^~S: Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles and congruent segments do not have equal length.

Now, the negation of S is False, therefore: P^~S is False.
