Two lines are respectively perpendicular to two parallel lines Show that they are parallel to each other.
ANSWER:
Let m and n be the two parallel lines perpendicular to the line l.
Since, l is perpendicular to m,
∠1=90∘
Also, since l is perpendicular to m,
∠2=90∘
Therefore, ∠1=∠2
This implies that the corresponding angles are equal.
Therefore, the lines m and n are parallel to each other.
