How are perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lineshow are they different?
The question is baffling. They're not different. Perpendicular lines must be intersecting lines.The only lines that are not intersecting lines are parallel lines. If two lines arenot parallel, then they must intersect, and they can be perpendicular or not.
How is perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are lines that cross at right angles. Intersecting lines can cross at any angle.
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting lines alike and how are they different?
Some intersecting lines are perpendicular lines.Take any old pair of intersecting lines. If the angles at the intersectionhappen to be 90 degree angles, then the lines are perpendicular lines.
How are perpendicular lines different from a intersecting lines?
They are not. The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle, for example, intersect at the orthocentre of the triangle. So perpendicular lines can be intersecting and conversely.
How are perpendicular lines similar to intersecting line?
perpendicular lines are a special type of intersecting line that happen to intersect at 90 degree angles
