Perpendicular
Right angles are congruent.
Two
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
Proof:
It is given that,
If a line is perpendicular to a plane, it is perpendicular to every line in the plane that passes through its foot.
Perpendicular angles form right angles.
Right angles are congruent.
By reflexive property, we get
By ASA congruence rule, we get
