When a line is perpendicular to a line segment what angle do they form at their intersection?
a right angle
if two lines intersect their intersection is?
Perpendicular if they form right angles if not they form vertical opposite equal angles
Consider eight little spheres of mercury each with a diameter of 3 mm When they coalesce to form a single sphere how big will it be?
24
What is the relationship between two lines in a plane that intersect to form right angle?
Their are Perpendicular.
Greater than zero plus?
this question is not complete greater than zero? you need a problem to go with this question
Do a plane and a ray intersection form a line?
no 2 points form a line, 3 points form a plane

Does a geiger tube count all radiation?
No. A GM tube only counts the ionizing events that happen to interact with it. Consider that a radioactive source radiates in 360 degrees, in three axes, to form a three dimensional sphere of radiation. The GM tube intersects only part of that sphere and, even for the the parts that do intersect, its not always a direct intersection, so there is not always a capture of an event that registers on the tube. This is why we talk about calibration geometry and efficiency.
Can two different planes intersect a line?
Yes, there are three ways that two different planes can intersect a line: 1) Both planes intersect each other, and their intersection forms the line in the system. This system's solution will be infinite and be the line. 2) Both planes intersect the line at two different points. This system is inconsistent, and there is no solution to this system. However, both planes will still be intersecting the same line, albeit at different locations on the line. 3) Both planes intersect each other, but their intersection does NOT form the line in the system. However, if the line in the system intersects the planes' intersection, then they will all intersect a single point. The solution will be finite and be a single point. There are also 3 ways two different planes WON'T both intersect a line. 1) The two planes and the line are all parallel to each other, and none of them intersect each other. 2) The line is parallel to one plane, but intersects the other plane. 3) The same as #2, but now the line is parallel to the other plane and intersects the one plane.
Spring form where?
Springs form where the water table intersects the ground surface
What is the end point of the rays of an angle?
The vertex is the intersection of the rays that form an angle. The other ends go on indefinitely.
A set of points all a given distance from a center point?
They are called equidistant points and form points on a sphere for a solid or a circle on a plane figure.
Line that intersects to form right angles?
Perpendicular
What are lines that form right angles at their point of intersection?
Perpendicular Lines form right angles at their point of intersection
How does eQuator form a great circle?
eQuator forms a great circle because it is a circle created by the intersection of a sphere and a plane that passes through the center of the sphere. The equator of the Earth, for example, is a great circle because it divides the Earth into two equal halves. The shortest path between any two points on a great circle is along the circle itself.
What form does a wave front have A sine wave B surface of a sphere?
A wave front has a form that is a surface of a sphere.
What is lines which intersect to form four right angles?
a line that intersects to form four right angles is a perpendicular
