Question
Which of the following are models for perpendicular lines:
- The adjacent edges of a table top.
- The lines of a railway track.
- The line segments forming the letter ’L’
- The letter V.
Solution
a. The adjacent edges of a table top.
c. The line segments forming the letter ’L’
Explanation:
Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). The adjacent edges of a tabletop and the segments forming the letter 'L' are examples of lines meeting at a 90-degree angle, indicating perpendicularity.
