Question

the following statement describes a ladder. based only on the statement, make a conclusion about the rungs, one side, or both sides of the ladder. explain. the rungs are parallel and the top rung is perpendicular to one side. choose the correct answer below. a. using the perpendicular transversal theorem and the fact that the side is a traversal perpendicular to the top rung and all rungs are parallel, the conclusion is that all the rungs are parallel to the side. b. using the perpendicular transversal theorem and the fact that the side is a traversal perpendicular to the top rung and all rungs are parallel, the conclusion is that all the rungs are perpendicular to the side. c. using the two lines parallel to a third line theorem and the fact that the side is a traversal perpendicular to the top rung and all rungs are parallel, the conclusion is that all the rungs are parallel to the side. d. using the two lines parallel to a third line theorem and the fact that the side is a traversal perpendicular to the top rung and all rungs are parallel, the conclusion is that all the rungs are perpendicular to the side.

Explanation:

Answer:

B. Using the Perpendicular Transversal Theorem and the fact that the side is a traversal perpendicular to the top rung and all rungs are parallel, the conclusion is that all the rungs are perpendicular to the side.
