To make perpendicular lines, draw a horizontal line. Then using a compass or tracing around the edge of a curved object, draw one circle ( or just a semi-circle) so that it crosses the horizontal straight line in at least one point.
Now rotate the compass or move the curved object to draw another circle (or semi-circle). This second circle (or semi-circle) must cross through the horizontal straight line as the first one did. It also must cross through the first circle (or semi-circle) at two points- above the horizontal straight line and below the horizontal straight line.
Next, draw a straight line from where the two circles (or semi-circles) meet above the horizontal straight line through to where they meet below the horizontal straight line.
You now have a line perpendicular to the first line.

What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
What is the perpendicular postulate?
The perpendicular postulate states that if there is a line, as well as a point that is not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
what- line m is perpendicular to line L, line n is perpendicular to line m.?
Line L is parallel to line n.
What are the difference between perpendicular lines and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.
Line perpendicular to a barrier is called?
The line perpendicular to a barrier is called the normal.
A line that is at a right angle to another line?
Perpendicular line.
What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
A line is perpendicular to another line when?
A line is perpendicular to another line when it is at an angle of 90° to the other line. + (that plus sign is an example of a perpendicular line)
What is a line perpendicular to the vertical?
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
When is a line perpendicular to a plane?
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
What is perpendicular line?
A sole line can't be perpendicular. To be perpendicular, a line has to meet with another line, to form right angles on either side. Perpendicular is the exact opposite of parallel. Parallel: = Perpendicular: -|
What is the perpendicular postulate?
The perpendicular postulate states that if there is a line, as well as a point that is not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
What is a line that is like perpendicular but straighter?
"Perpendicular" is a straight line at a 90 degree angle from a line it touches or intersects. There is no line "straighter" than a perpendicular line, that I know of.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
Can a perpendicular line be 88 degrees?
A perpendicular line is 90 degrees. Anything less or more is not perpendicular.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
