Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle, forming a right angle where they meet. In geometric terms, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. Visually, perpendicular lines appear to be at right angles to each other, creating a distinct "L" shape where they intersect.

What does perpendicular look like?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross and form a right angle, which I hope you know what that is.
How can you tell when two lines are perpendicular?
If you measure the angle between them and it's exactly 90 degrees, then they're perpendicular. That's the definition and the requirement. Perpendicular lines form a "corner", but if you want to be technical about it, that's not a good way to tell. The angle might be only 87 degrees, or it might be 92 degrees, and when you look at it, it may look like a corner. But technically, if it's not 90 degrees then they're not perpendicular.
What does a right angle look like?
When two lines are perpendicular to each other such as L a right angle is formed which is 90 degrees.
Which shape has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines?
A rhombus has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines.
Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other. Intersecting lines do not haveto be perpendicular... but perpendicular lines are always intersecting.
What is parallel perpendicular lines look like?
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.
How do examples of perpendicular lines look?
These lines are perpendicular: _|
Can you show me what a perpendicular lines look like?
They look like two intersecting lines that make four right angles. Like the two lines in this L.
What does perpendicular look like?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross and form a right angle, which I hope you know what that is.
Perpendicular lines look like?
They are straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees
What does perpendicular lines look like?
They are straight lines that intersect each other at right angles or 90 degrees.
What makes two lines perpendicular what do they look like?
Perpendicular lines are ones that make right angles when they meet. For instance the letters T H E and L are all made of perpendicular line segments.
What is an unperpendicular line?
A perpendicular line is two lines that look like a plus +. If they're not perpendicular, they don't cross with 90 degree angles.
How do a obtuse angle look?
Like __/ or \__. (in between a straight line and a right angle (perpendicular lines)
How does a perpendicular look?
Perpendicular lines are lines that cross one another at a 90° angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of one another. Perpendicular lines intersect each other.
What does perpenciular line look like?
Two lines are perpendicular when they cross at right angle like the corner of a piece of paper.
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
