To explain:
The proving method used by the contractor to show the two handrails are parallel using the fewest measurements
Answer to Problem 37PPS
The definition of parallelogram is used to prove the two hand rails are parallel to each other.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Here, two vertical rails are parallel to each other which show that these are perpendicular to the ground from the given figure.
On measuring the distances between the two rails at the bottom and top of the steps finds equal then one pair of quadrilateral’s sides formed by the hand rails is said to be congruent as well as parallel.
As per the definition of parallelogram, the two hand rails are said to parallel to each other because quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
