The definition of perpendicular lines also defines the angles -- perpendicular lines are two lines (or line segments) that meet at a 90 degree angle.

What is a plane figure formed by four segments called?
polygon
Find the number of diffrent segments formed by 8 collinear points?
8 collinear points determine 28 unique line segments
What is a figure formed by two rays or line segments that have a common vertex?
It is an angle.
What term best describes a figure formed by three segments connecting three noncollinear points?
There is no specific name in general. If the line segments are straight, then it is a triangle.
Which two upper case letters are formed with only two perpendicular segments?
Remember that "perpendicular" means "at a right (90 degree) angle". The two uppercase letter that are formed with onlytwo perpendicular segments are T and L.
Which two uppercase letters are formed with only two perpendicular line segments?
T L
Which 2 capital letters are formed with only 2 perpendicular line segments?
X and T because the they can still make the T shape and still be perpendicular

The letters T and L are formed as asked.l and t from fiona1234
What is formed by perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines formed right angles.
What is an example of a figure not formed with any line segments?
A circle is not formed from line segments.

Which figure contains a pair of perpendicular line segments?
Two ways to determine if two line segments are perpendicular:1. Determine the angle formed: if the angle made by the two line segments is 90 degrees, then they are perpendicular. This can sometimes be done visually if the graph has grids, but probably not what the question is asking you to do.2. Compare slopes*: if the slopes are negative inverses of each other, they are perpendicular. For example, if the slope of one line is 5, the slope for the other line would need to be -1/5, or -0.2. An easy way to remember, is if the product of the two slopes is -1, they are perpendicular.*Side note: slope is "rise over run", or change in y divided by change in x
What is formed when two perpendicular lines cross?
When two perpendicular lines cross, a right angle is formed.
ARE Acute angles are formed by perpendicular lines?
No. Perpendicular lines for right angles. That is why they are called perpendicular.
What is a closed shape formed by line segments that do not cross?
If it has 3 or more line segments then it is a polygon
