What kind of line makes use of rounded angles?
Right angles are formed by perpendicular lines. If the lines would extend, to make two intersecting lines.
Are the metal rails that make up train an example of parallel line intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
Railway lines are parallel
What are perpendicular lines on a 2d shape?
Lines that form a 90 degree angle at their vertex. Two lines that make a 90 degree are perpendicular.
How many right angles do perpendicular lines make?
Perpendicular lines make four 90 degree angles otherwise known as right angles.
Do perpendicular line have to make a 90 degree angle?
Yes, because a circle is 360 degrees right?,so when the perpendicular lines meet they cut the circle in half so 360 degrees divided by 4 equals 90 degrees...
How are perpendicular lines different to intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines have to intersect to make a right angle Like this: + Intersecting lines don't have to intersect to make a right angle Like this: X
What is the difference between perpendicular and intersecting lines?
perpendicular crosses at a right angle, while intersecting lines don't
What kind of lines are lines that cross each other?
If they make right angles they are perpendicular. If they do not make a right angle, they are intersecting.
What intersecting lines make right angles?
All of them. If its truly intersecting lines, they have to form right angles. All of them. If its truly intersecting lines, they have to form right angles.
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting line?
Both lines intersect other lines, but the difference is a perpendicular line intersects another line at a 90 degree angle meanwhile the intersecting lines can meet at any angle
Does every intersecting pair of lines is also perpendicular?
NO, because each intercecting line does not make a right angle-some could make acute or obtuse angles. To be perpendicular the lines that meet have to make a right angle(90 degree angle) or else they will not be perpendicular.
What type of angle is formed by perpendicular lines?
Right angles are formed by perpendicular lines. If the lines would extend, to make two intersecting lines, they would form four right angles. Perpendicular lines are written like this: . From its shape, you can already tell that it forms at least two right angles.
Is a right angle a quadrilateral?
No... a quadrilateral is a figure of 4 sides. Trapzoid, square, diamond.... get the picture? A right angle is an angle. It is formed by two lines intersecting. They don't even necessarily make a shape.
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting lines alike and different?
they both have lines crossing each other which make angles. perpendicular lines make right angles while intersecting lines make other kinds
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting lines are different?
Perpendicular lines are a specific kind of intersecting lines. Intersecting lines are any two lines that cross through each other. Depending on how they cross each other, they may make angles from 170 degrees to 1 degree. Perpendicular lines are specifically two straight lines that cross each other at right angles, so that they create angles that are 90 degrees.
What are the three relationships for two straight lines in the same plane?
Well, there are really only two: parallel and intersecting. Parallel lines go in the same direction and never cross; intersecting lines do cross (or intersect). However, a third relationship, that's actually a special case of intersecting lines, is the case of perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are those that make four right angles when they intersect. Really, it's enough if you know that only one of the angles is a right angle - the rest follow automatically.
What are lines that cross and make a right angle?
Perpendicular lines.
