It is a perpendicular line that intercepts another line at 90 degrees.
Perpendicular line segments are line segments that cross with each other and form angles of 90 degrees.
Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.
Such a line is called a perpendicular bisector.
if the triangle is a right angle it has 2 perpendicular line segments.
