Based on your statement, it sounds like you're discussing a geometric situation involving parallel lines and a transversal. Let me expand on that:

In this geometric configuration, we have two parallel lines, KV and WS. When a transversal (in this case, line L RT) intersects these parallel lines, it creates several angles.

Since it's given that line L RT is perpendicular to line WS, we know that it intersects WS at a right angle (90 degrees). This perpendicularity implies that the angles formed at the intersection of L RT and WS are right angles.

Additionally, by the properties of parallel lines and transversals, since KV is parallel to WS and L RT is perpendicular to WS, it follows that L RT is also perpendicular to KV. This means that the angles formed at the intersection of L RT with KV are also right angles.

In summary, because L RT is perpendicular to WS and KV is parallel to WS, we conclude that:

  • L RT ⊥ WS (L RT is perpendicular to WS).
  • L RT ⊥ KV (L RT is also perpendicular to KV).

This property can be useful in various geometry problems, especially when proving relationships between angles or constructing geometrical figures. If you have any specific question or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
