A is a subset of a set B if every element of A is also an element of B.
wrong!
Let A be the set {1,2,3,4} B is {1,2} and B is a proper subset of A C is {1} and C is also a proper subset of A. B and C are proper subsets of the set A because they are strictly contained in A. necessarily excludes at least one member of A. The set A is NOT a proper subset of itself.
The definition of subset is ; Set A is a subset of set B if every member of A is a member of B. The null set is a subset of every set because every member of the null set is a member of every set. This is true because there are no members of the null set, so anything you say about them is vacuously true.
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.
