What is the different between transverse wave and longitudinal wave?

The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.

What is the difference between parallel and latitude?

Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel.

What molecule is made up of steps like a ladder?

You are probably thinking of DNA. The base pairs link the two strands together like a series of steps. However, since it is helical, it might be more accurate to compare it to a spiral staircase.


What two countries are divided by the 38th parallel?

North Korea and South Korea are divided by the 38th parallel. This line was established at the end of World War II and has since acted as the de facto border between the two countries.

Line l is parallel to line m line l is perpendicular to line p what conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between lines m and p?

Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).


If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?

since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.


Why two lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular?

Since two parallel lines never intersect, they cannot be perpendicular to each other because perpendicular lines intersect and form angles of 90⁰.


Prove that the tangent at a to the circumcircle of triangle abc is parallel to bc where triangle abc is a isosceles triangle?

The circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through the three vertices. Its center is at the circumcenter, which is the point O, at which the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle are concurrent. Since our triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular line to the base BC of the triangle passes through the vertex A, so that OA (the part of the bisector perpendicular line to BC) is a radius of the circle O. Since the tangent line at A is perpendicular to the radius OA, and the extension of OA is perpendicular to BC, then the given tangent line must be parallel to BC (because two or more lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line).


Why can't a trapezoid have right angle?

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. Since a right angle is formed by two perpendicular lines, it would mean that one of the non-parallel sides would have to be perpendicular to one of the parallel sides, which violates the definition of a trapezoid. Therefore, a trapezoid cannot have a right angle.


Does a trapezoid contain 2 right angles?

Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.


Is y equals 3x plus 1 and y equals 3x - 7 perpendicular?

No. they are parallel, since the slopes are both equal in this case 3. To be perpendicular the product of the slopes of both lines is equal to -1 (i.e., m1*m2 = -1).


What polygon always has perpendicular and parallel lines?

square? im not sure square? im not sure Yes, a square, but we're talking "line segments" - so when the two lines meet to form a 90 degree corner, we get the perpendicular and any of the two lines opposite each other (since all the angles in a square are 90 degrees) are parallel.


How many perpendicular lines are there in a parallelogram?

Ah, isn't that a lovely question? In a parallelogram, there are two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, but none of the sides are perpendicular to each other. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle, and in a parallelogram, the sides do not meet at right angles, they run parallel in a harmonious way. Just like nature, everything has its place and purpose in a parallelogram.


Should a screen should be placed parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the convex lens?

If you want to catch the image formed by the lens, then the screen will have to be perpendicular to the axis of the lens. That's kind of parallel to the lens ... the lens doesn't actually have any 'plane' since its surfaces are curved.


What is A to the foot of the perpendicular?

The answer depends on where A is and where the perpendicular is. And since you have not bothered to share these crucial bits of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.


An example of perpendicular lines?

stand straight up against the floor. you are a perpendicular line to the floor since you make a 90degree with with the floor
