Lines And Angles

Question
CBSEENMA9002388

If l, m, n are three lines such that l || m and n ⊥ l, then prove that n ⊥ m.

Solution

Given: l, m, n are three lines such that l || m and n ⊥ l.
To Prove: n ⊥ m

Proof: ∵ l || m and n is a transversal
∵ ∠1 = ∠2 | Corresponding angles
But ∠1 = 90°    | ∵ n ⊥ l (given)
∴ ∠2 = 90°
⇒    n ⊥ m
