The proof that line n is perpendicular to both a and b is proved below using definition of right angle and perpendicular transversal theorem.
How to prove Perpendicular and Parallel Lines?
We are given that;
Line a is parallel to line b
Line m is parallel to line n.
A) We want to prove that line a is perpendicular to n.
From the image, we see that there is a right angle sign on the opposite side of ∠1 facing m.
Now, we know that by definition of a right angle that ∠1 will also be a right angle.
Since angle 1 is a right angle, then we can say the line transversal a is perpendicular to line m.
B) We want to prove that line b is perpendicular to n.
The definition of the perpendicular transversal theorem, states that if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.
Thus, b will be perpendicular to n.
