Algebra.Com's Answer #381337 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! PQ is a transversal between AB and CD\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "AB and CD are parallel because the alternate interior angles formed by the transversal are equal\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the angles are equal because tangent lines are perpendicular to the diameter at the point of tangency \n" ); document.write( "___ perpendicular lines form equal right angles \n" ); document.write( " |
