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. reset next

Explanation:

Step1: Identify perpendicular segments

Since \(AB\) and \(CD\) are parallel and \(EF\perp CD\), then \(AB\perp EF\).

Step2: Analyze lengths of parallel - perpendicular segments

Parallel lines have equal perpendicular distances between them. So if \(EF = a\) units, then \(GH=a\) units.

Answer:

First drop - down: \(\overline{EF}\); Second drop - down: \(a\)
