One column of numbers consists of 61, 24, and 47. when the digits of the numbers are added together, the result is 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 7 = 24, and when the digits of 24 are then added together, the end result is 2 + 4 = 6. if the same process is performed on the numbers in a second column, what can be concluded?

The question is incomplete because it must content a list of choices to select the right one.

Any way, a conclusion that you can make, and that is a common one for this kind of questions, is about whether the sum of the numbers of the second column may or not be the same sum of the numbers of the first column.

The condition for the two sums be the same is that when the digits of the second column are added together the result be the same obtained for the sum of the digits of the first column. In this case that is 6.

So, the possible answer is:

If the end result from the second column is not 6, then the sum of the numbers in the first column is not equal to the sum of the numbers in the second column.

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
