Explain why you can conclude that the slots are parallel.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
In the mail slots shown , each slot is perpendicular to each of the sides.
Calculation :
Converse of Perpendicular Transversal Theorem:
Two coplanar lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel.
Using the theorem , we can conclude that since the slots are perpendicular to each of the sides , the slots are parallel . Also , any pair of slots is perpendicular to the side , they are parallel.
So, any pair of slots are parallel .
