1. Problem Description
We are given a pentagon ABCDE. We need to answer the following questions:
a) Which two line segments are parallel to each other?
b) Which two line segments are equal lengths?
c) Which two line segments are perpendicular to ?
2. Solution Steps
a) Parallel lines are lines that never intersect. In the given figure, and have arrows indicating that they are parallel. So and are parallel to each other.
b) Equal length line segments are marked with single strokes. and both have a single stroke indicating they have the same length. So and are of equal length.
c) Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle. The figure indicates right angles at vertex and vertex . This means is perpendicular to and is perpendicular to .
3. Final Answer
a) and are parallel to each other.
b) and are of equal length.
c) and are perpendicular to .
