How Are tangents to a circle equal at opposite ends of a diameter?

Tangents ..... are parallel under conditions you gave. A tangent to a circle is perpindicular to the radius (diameter) at the point of contact. 2 lines perpindicular to the same line are parallel.


What are the different of lines?

My guess as to what you are asking is what are the two different kinds of lines? If so, the two kinds of lines are parallel and perpindicular. Parallel is two lines that have the same slope, or in other words, could go on forever and not touch. An equals sign (=) is an example of this. If you drew lines on the two lines of the equals sign, and they were straight, they would, in theory, never touch. Perpindicular lines, however, is the opposite. It is two lines that form 90 degree angles or right angles. An example of this is a plus sign (+). The two lines that form the plus sign are perpindicular lines.

If two lines are not perpindicular then they are not parallel?

Not necessarily. Consider two lines that intersect at some angle other than 90 degrees. Then the angle of intersection is not 90 degrees means they are not perpendicular. But, because they intersect, neither are they parallel.


Is y equals 5x plus 3 parallel or perpindicular?

Neither: because one line, by itself, can be neither parallel or perpendicular. These characteristics are relevant only in the context of another line (or lines). The given line is parallel to some lines and perpendicular to others.


Do parallelograms have perpendicular lines?

no they don't have perpindicular lines


What are perpandiculer lines?

First of all, it is spelled perpindicular, not perpandiculer. Secondly, perpindicular lines are two lies that cross forming right angles, or 90 degree angles. For example, the two lines forming a plus sign are perpindicular.


What is perpindicular lines in geometry?

Can 2 lines intersect and be perpindicular?

yes they can


What lines form acute or obtuse angles at point of intersection?

An line that is not perpindicular to the other line makes an acute or obtuse angle Oblique lines are not parallel or perpendicular which would be lines that form acute or obtuse angles at the point of intersection.
