A right angle.
By definition, any lines/segments that are perpendicular to each other either do, or (in the case of non-intersecting segments) would, intersect each other at right angles. A right angle being a 90* angle. Therefore, perpendicular, intersecting line segments will form 4 90* angles.
Perpendicular lines
A right angle.
How am i supposed to kow this??? I am in second grade!
If the angle formed between the intersecting lines are 90o then the two lines are perpendicular. In 2D coordinate geometry, a perpendicular line has a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.

Intersecting lines that form a right angle are perpendicular lines.
When two line segments intersect, an angle is created. The degree of the angle depends on the positions of the two intersecting lines. The wider the space between the two intersecting lines, the larger number of degrees the angle encompasses.
Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines. The only difference is that perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of 90o, whereas intersecting lines can converge at any angle.
perpendicular crosses at a right angle, while intersecting lines don't
No. "Intersecting" just mean that they cross. "Perpendicular" means, specifically, that they cross at a right angle. Actually, in the case of segments, they don't even need to cross to be "perpendicular", but the lines that contain them would cross at right angles.
Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.
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
Yes, that is the definition of perpendicular. 2 lines intersecting to form a right(90o) angle.
Perpendicular lines.
if the triangle is a right angle it has 2 perpendicular line segments.
The only difference between perpendicular lines and intersecting lines is that perpendicular lines create a right angle at the point of intersection.
