Answer:
This is proved with the help of slope.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Mr. Johnson is working on constructing a square table for his classroom. He positioned his design on a coordinate grid, as shown. Mr. Johnson will need to put a brace through each diagonal of the table in order to secure the table's stability.
Now, if Johnson use more than one brace then we have to prove that the braces will intersect at a right angle.
From the figure we have to prove the diagonals AC and BD are at right angle. To prove above we have to find the slopes of both diagonals.
As we know, In a coordinate plane, the slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other i.e their product is equals to -1.
⇒ AC and BD are perpendicular
⇒ Braces which put through each diagonal intersect at right angle and the table will stable.
All work is shown in picture below.
