Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).

What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?

The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.


Is the distance between the two parallels is not same?

The perpendicular distance between two parallel lines is always the same.


What is a cross section of a cone?

Circle: If the knife is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.Ellipse: If the knife is between (perpendicular to the axis of the cone) and (parallel to the side of the cone).Parabola: If the knife is between (parallel to the side of the cone) and (parallel to the axis of the cone).Hyperbola: If the knife is parallel to the axis of the cone.Triangle: If the knife is perpendicular to the base of the cone.Point: If the knife is parallel to the base the cone and through the apex


Is it true that if given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone not at the vertex and is parallel to its edge will always result in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone?

Yes, it is true that if given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone not at the vertex and is parallel to its edge will always result in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone. There are four cases... Plane perpendicular to axis: circlePlane between perpendicular to axis and parallel to edge: ellipsePlane parallel to edge: parabolaPlane between parallel to edge and parallel to axis: hyperbolehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section


What represents the correct relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

If the slopes are m1 and m2 then m1*m2 = -1 or m2 = -1/m1.

Does an octagon have perpendicular or parallel lines?

An octagon can have both perpendicular and parallel lines, depending on its specific configuration. In a regular octagon, opposite sides are parallel, while the angles between adjacent sides can create perpendicular lines in certain contexts. However, in an irregular octagon, the arrangement of sides and angles can vary widely, leading to different relationships between lines.


Is the distance between the two parallels is not same?

The perpendicular distance between two parallel lines is always the same.
