Question

3 select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. in this figure, $overline{ab}$ and $overline{cd}$ are parallel. $overline{ab}$ is perpendicular to line segment. if the length of $overline{ef}$ is a units, then the length of $overline{gh}$ is units. cf fh dh gh reset next

Explanation:

Step1: Identify perpendicular line

Since \(AB\) is perpendicular to the line segment between \(AB\) and \(CD\), it's \(EF\) (as shown by right - angle symbol).

Step2: Use parallel line property

Parallel lines \(AB\) and \(CD\) have equal perpendicular distances. So if \(EF = a\) units, then \(GH=a\) units.

Answer:

\(\overline{AB}\) is perpendicular to line segment \(EF\). If the length of \(\overline{EF}\) is \(a\) units, then the length of \(\overline{GH}\) is \(a\) units.
