Question

The legs of a table are parallel to each other. If the angle between leg 1 and the base of the table is 90°, what is the angle between leg 4 and the base of the table?

  1. 180°
  2. 90°
  3. 60°
  4. 120°

hintHint:

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines , then it is perpendicular to the other line also.

The correct answer is: 90°




    The legs of the table are parallel to each other.
    Leg 1 is perpendicular to the base of the table.
    We know that if a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.

    So, Leg 4 is also perpendicular to base of the table.
    Thus, the angle between leg 4 and the base of the table is 90°.
