If a line is tangent to a circle then it is what to the radius drawn at the point of tangency?
Perpendicular
How many perpendicular lines has a heptagon got?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! A heptagon, with its seven sides, can have a maximum of seven perpendicular lines. Each side can have one perpendicular line drawn from it, creating a lovely pattern of right angles within the shape. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little perpendicular lines waiting to be discovered!
What is a line drawn at right angles to a glass mirror called?
a straight line
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
Are the medians of a triangle equidistant from each vertex?
Every triangle has three medians, just like it has three altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors. The medians of a triangle are the segments drawn from the vertices to the midpoints of the opposite sides. The point of intersection of all three medians is called the centroid of the triangle. The centroid of a triangle is twice as far from a given vertex than it is from the midpoint to which the median from that vertex goes. For example, if a median is drawn from vertex A to midpoint M through centroid C, the length of AC is twice the length of CM. The centroid is 2/3 of the way from a given vertex to the opposite midpoint. The centroid is always on the interior of the triangle.
