Geometry #3

Lines M and N do not intersect. Line P intersects line M to form a right angle. Which of the following is NOT true?

a. Lines P and N are parallel.
b. Lines M and N are parallel.
c. Lines P and M are perpendicular.
d. All three statements are true.

Explain your thoughts in words. You receive 2 points for posting, 1 point for explaining, and 1 point for the correct answer. Good luck :-)

Lines P and N are not parallel because P goes across M and N.

The one that is false is letter C because line P and M are parallel.

Anonymous said...

a. because p and n are not parallel
cause they will meet eventually

Anonymous said...

d. because a and b are not true. m and p are perpendicular

Anonymous said...

a isnt true

Anonymous said...

Letter B, because it says they dont interseft. So there is no other way it can happen.

Anonymous said...

Answer a is false because if you continued line p it would intersect line N.

Anonymous said...

i think it is a becaus they can't be parallel when m and n don't intersect so that means that n and p intersect

Anonymous said...

lines p & m are pervendicular because line p intersects line m at a right angle

Anonymous said...

c is untrue because p intersects m and it isn't perpendicular.

Anonymous said...

A is not correct. you cant have another parallel becuse it intersects.

drew said...

A because m and n are parallel, so p and m intersect. therefore, p and n cannot be parallel.

P and N are not true because they pass the other shapes(M and N)

it is not true

a: p and n will eventuliay meet because they are not parallel to each other.

Anonymous said...

Line M and N are pararllel

Anonymous said...

a. because p and n will eventually will meat so a is not true

andrewenglesg2b1 said...

a.because p and n intersect

michaelshafferG2 said...

B. b cuz lines m and n r not parallel. if they were then p would intersect both m and n

Anonymous said...

i think it is a because p and n do not inersect so they are not parallel.

Anonymous said...

D. because A. and B. are not true. M. and P. are perpendicular so the others would noy work.

Anonymous said...

i think that the answer is D. it has to be because a, b, and c are correct.

Anonymous said...

Well P and N are not parallel because it is P and M

Anonymous said...

Letter A: P and N are not true because they pass the other shapes(M and N)!!!

Anonymous said...

the answer is A, because sooner or later they will meet.

Anonymous said...

I say that d is the right answer because p and m meet, m and n are parallel, and p and n are parellel because p doesn't touch n.

Anonymous said...

c,lines P & M are perpendicular.

Anonymous said...

(b.) because if m & n do not intersect then they have to be parallel but since p intersects with m then p could not be parallel to n.

a: if p and m intersect n an p must be paralel.

Anonymous said...

i think letter d because all the statements are correct

Anonymous said...

D. because A and B are not true and is correct because only perpendicular make right angles

Anonymous said...

a. p and n are not parallel becuase they intersect and cross.

Anonymous said...

c. lines P and M are perpendicular

Perpendicular means that it makes a right angle.

Anonymous said...

B. because line M and N gotta be parallel because if they werent they would intersect with P.

Anonymous said...

A is wrong because it intersects with M and N. P has to be parallel to M.

Austen Iverson-South Dakota said...

a. because m and n are parallel
______
like ______ and p intersects m which is parallel with a so p is NOT parallel with n.

Anonymous said...

I think its A because M and N dont intersect so that has to mean they are parallel and p intersects M so P cant be parallel to N.

Anonymous said...

m and n are paralell

Anonymous said...

Letter C is false cause line P and M are parallel

Anonymous said...

b- because lines m and n don't intersect so they have to be parallel

Anonymous said...

d. because a and b are so wrong. m and p are perpendicular

Anonymous said...

the awnser is number c

Anonymous said...

i think that the answer is A. becaues sooner of later the two lines will gome together and meet!

Anonymous said...

c isnt right

Anonymous said...

A. because M and N are parallel which makes P not be able to be parallel to N, because it has to intersect M

Anonymous said...

the answer is A because p and n are not parallel. They are not parallel because they intersect and cross.

Anonymous said...

letter a is false

Anonymous said...

I think that it is a because P goes across the page and N goes down the page so they cross and they are not parallel.

Anonymous said...

The answer is A because lines p and n are not parallel,because they intersect and cross.

Anonymous said...

A. Lines P and N are not parallel because they will eventually meet and intersect.

Anonymous said...

A is not true. If M and N are parallel going right next to each other, and line P intersects with line M, it's going to intersect with line N also.

Anonymous said...

A is not true because p and n are noy parallel

Anonymous said...

P and N are not true because they pass the other shapes(M and N)

Anonymous said...

a is false, because if M &N are parallel and P intersects with M, it would be impossible, becauseif you extended P it would touch line N.
