Which of the statements supports the conclusion from the diagram and the GIVEN information?

a) Vertical angles are equal in measure.
b) Perpendicular lines meet to form right angles.
c) Adjacent angles whose exterior sides are perpendicular rays are complementary.
d) All right angles are equal in measure.

Answer 1

b) Perpendicular lines meet to form right angles.

Answer 2

(B) Perpendicular lines meet to form right angles

Explanation:

Given: RU is perpendicular to SW.

Conclude: RPS is a right triangle.

Solution: In order to conclude that RPS is a right triangle, the statement Perpendicular lines meet to form right angles supports than the others given, thus, Option B is correct.
