What is the difference between perpendicular segment and perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular segment refers to a line that cuts another at right angle (90 deg). A perpendicular bisector refers to a line that cuts another at right angle while splitting the two sides equally. In short, it is just a 90 degree line in the midpoint (exact centre) of the other line
Is a perpendicular line is one that intersects another to form a 90 degree angle?
Yes, perpendicular lines intersect at right angles which have 90 degrees.
Why is the height called a perpendicular width?
Because it intersects the base at a 90 degree angle.
What is the difference between a perpendicular and parallel line?
A perpendicular line is a line that creates two 90 degree angles at the line, segment, etc. that it intersects. Parallel lines are two lines that never intersect. Perpendicular lines cross at right angles (+) Parallel lines will never meet, no matter how far they are extended (=)
Is a zero degree angle an acute angle?
No, it is not an acute angle but we can say it a whole angle or a line segment.
How do you find midpoint of a segment?
Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.

Is a perpendicular line is one that intersects with another to form a 90 degree angle?
yesAround the it should look like a cross etch

Yes, perpendicular lines intersect at right angles which have 90 degrees.

Because it intersects the base at a 90 degree angle.
What is the degree of a line segment?
One line segment is 180 degrees because it is a straight line. If you have 2 or more intersecting line segments, the degree of the angle will vary.
What is the difference between a perpendicular and parallel line?
A perpendicular line is a line that creates two 90 degree angles at the line, segment, etc. that it intersects. Parallel lines are two lines that never intersect. Perpendicular lines cross at right angles (+) Parallel lines will never meet, no matter how far they are extended (=)
Does a right-angled triangle have any symmetery?
If it is a 45-45-90 triangle, it will have symmetry from the 90 degree angle to the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
How many ways can you prove that two lines are parallel?
Two lines are parallel if they never cross one another. Another way to tell if they are parallel is if they have the same slope. Also, if the same line intersects both of them at a 90 degree angle, they would be parallel (in other words, if both lines are perpendicular to a common line, they are paraellel).
What is a line that is like perpendicular but straighter?
"Perpendicular" is a straight line at a 90 degree angle from a line it touches or intersects. There is no line "straighter" than a perpendicular line, that I know of.
How many degree is a line segment?
None. Degrees are not used to measure line segments.
What is another name for a degree?
undergraduate degree
