One way to prove that d⊥t is by showing that the measure of the angle formed between the two lines is 90 degrees. This can be done using various methods such as:
1. Algebraic method:
- Determine the slopes of the lines d and t.
- If the product of the slopes is -1 (i.e., m(d) * m(t) = -1), then the lines are perpendicular.
2. Geometric method:
- Plot the lines d and t on a coordinate plane.
- Find the equations of the lines.
- Calculate the slopes of the lines.
- If the slopes are negative reciprocals (i.e., m(d) * m(t) = -1), then the lines are perpendicular.
3. Vector method:
- Represent the lines d and t using vectors.
- If the dot product of the vectors is zero (i.e., d · t = 0), then the lines are perpendicular.
Ultimately, any of these methods can be used to prove that d⊥t, but the choice depends on the available information and the preferred approach.

To prove that d⊥t using the theorems and properties you mentioned:
1. Perpendicular Transversal Theorem: If a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other parallel line as well. However, this theorem is not directly applicable to proving perpendicularity between two lines without the information about parallel lines.
2. Transitive Property of Parallel lines: This property states that if line a is parallel to line b, and line b is parallel to line c, then line a is parallel to line c. It does not directly prove perpendicularity.
3. Transitive Property of Congruence: This property states that if two angles are congruent to a third angle, then they are congruent to each other. This property does not directly prove perpendicularity between lines.
4. Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate: If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. This does not prove perpendicularity but rather parallelism.
In conclusion, the theorems and properties you mentioned are not appropriate for directly proving that d⊥t (d is perpendicular to t). The methods mentioned in the previous responses, such as slope method, distance method, dot product method, or angle method, are more suitable for proving perpendicularity.
