LaoPerpendicular line segments intersect at right angles. For example, the horizontal and vertical axes on a coordinate plane are perpendicular line segments. In geometry, you can identify perpendicular line segments by measuring the angle they form at their intersection, which should be 90 degrees.

Definition for congruent line segments for geometry?
congruent line segments- line segments that have the same lengths.
What is a line at 90 degrees to another line?
A line that is at 90 degrees to another line is called a perpendicular line. Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles (90 degrees) forming a "L" shape.
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
That is correct. The distance from a point C to a line AB is the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from point C to line AB. This forms a right angle, creating a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. The length of this perpendicular segment is the shortest distance from the point to the line.
Is a half moon a polygon?
No. All of the sides of a polygon are straight line segments.
What are corresponding segments?
Corresponding segments in geometry refer to the pairs of line segments that are in the same relative position in similar figures. They are usually found in figures that are proportional and have the same shape, allowing for a one-to-one correspondence between their corresponding elements.
