Question

5. For the diagram below, is the statement AB LCD true? Justifyanswer using measurement. Mark all relevantmeasurements on the diagram.your

Answer 1

For AB to be perpendicular to CD, the angles, AED, BED, AEC and BEC must be 90 degrees. We would measure these angles by using a protractor. The results are shown below

angle AED = 80 degrees

angle BED = 100 degrees

angle AEC = 100 degrees

angle BEC = 80 degrees

Since the angles are not 90 degrees,

AB is not perpendicular to CD

The statement is not true
