when angle abc and abd equalls to 90 degree then ab perpendicular to cd
Chat with our AI personalities
If AB is a perpendicular bisector of CD then four 90 degreee angles are formed.
For two items (Planes, lines, line segments, ect.) to be perpendicular that means that they meet at a 90 degree angle. Perpendicularity is denoted by the ⊥ symbol. For example line AB ⊥ line CD would mean that the line AB would be perpendicular to the line CD.
Perpendicular would be at a right angle. If your sides are abcd, then ab, bc, cd, and da are perpendicular pairs.
It is easiest to draw it using two right angled triangles.Draw a line AB that is 2 units long. From B, draw BC which is perpendicular to AB and 2 units long. Join AC. From C, draw CD which is perpendicular to AC (clockwise if BC is clockwise from AB, or anticlockwise if BC is anticlockwise) and make CD 2 uinits long. Then AD is a line segment which is sqrt(12) units long.
If the lines AB and CD are parallel then they both will have the same slope of -8 but with different y intercepts
