If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other one also. given: k⊥m, m║n prove: k⊥ n

The right angle up at the number one and the unknown angle down at 2 are corresponding angles. corresponding angles are congruent. therefore angle down by two is a right angle and so the transversal is perpendicu lar to both lines

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
