It is called the "vanishing point". Your question is about the usefulness of vanishing points when drawing horizontal lines in a painting, and the vertical features of whatever you are painting. It's something you learn in Art lessons.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are perpendicular?

A parallelogram doesn't necessarily have any perpendicular sides, but it can. If it has one single 90-degree angle, then it has four of them, and it's a rectangle. Apexvs geometry 2nd sem -- false.


What is a paralell line?

"Parallel" refers to the relationship between two lines, not to a single line. Two lines are said to be parallel, or one line is parallel TO ANOTHER, if they are in the same plane, and are always at the same distance from each other, that is, as you move along one line, the distance to the other line is always the same - they don't cross, or get away from one another.


How many lines of symmetry does LINES have?

If the question refers to a single completely geometrically straight line of finite length in a plane, then a straight line will have two lines of symmetry. One symmetry line is perpendicular to the line being discussed and one symmetry line coincides with the line being discussed. The symmetry operation here is the one where every point of the figure is flipped perpendicularly across the symmetry line and the object is symmetric if that flipping produced exactly the same set of points. (Said differently, if flipping the set of points through a line produced an exact replica of the original set of points, then the like determining the flip is a symmetry line.) One level of complication occurs if the straight line which is the subject of the symmetry question is an infinitely long straight line. In such a case one symmetry line still coincides with the actual line, but all lines that are perpendicular to the straight line will be lines of symmetry. Thus, an infinitely long straight line has no single point as its "middle" and has an infinitely many symmetry lines consisting of all possible lines perpendicular to the original line.


How many foci does a parabola have?

A parabola has a single focus point. There is a line running perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola called the directrix. A line running from the focus to a point on the parabola is going to have the same distance as from the point on the parabola to the closest point of the directrix. In theory you could look at a parabola as being an ellipse with one focus at infinity, but that really doesn't help any. ■

Is the equator perpendicular or parallel?

A single line cannot be perpendicular or parallel. These are attributes of two (or more) lines.


Object situated at infinity in lens?

An object positioned at infinity in a lens produces parallel rays of light that converge at the focal point of the lens. This situation is commonly used to simplify calculations in geometric optics, as the rays are perpendicular to the optical axis and converge at a single point.


Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?

Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.


What two objects can cause light to converge?

A converging lens and a concave mirror can both cause light to converge. This means they bring parallel light rays together to converge at a single point, known as the focal point.


Is 2x equals y plus 8 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?

One single line is never parallel or perpendicular. Those words tell you somethingabout the relationship between two lines.


Is -x plus 2y equals 6 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?

One single line is never parallel or perpendicular. Those words tell you somethingabout the relationship between two lines.

What type of perspective gives less focus to objects further away?

A one-point perspective gives less focus to objects further away. In this type of perspective, all parallel lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon line, causing objects in the distance to appear smaller and with less detail.


Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?

When light rays parallel to the principal axis of a lens converge, they will converge at the focal point of the lens. This is a property of converging lenses, where parallel rays are refracted and brought together at a single point. This focal point is where the image of a distant object will be formed by the lens.


Does a convex lens diverge or converge light rays?

A convex lens converges light rays. It refracts incoming parallel rays towards a single point known as the focal point.


What are the characteristics for a place where things meet or converge?

There is no single characteristic for a place where things meet or converge. I would like to say that the place must be something physical, lines can converge on a page (or a screen), people can converge at a lunch table, rail lines converge in many places. However, that place isn't necessarily physical, you can have a meeting of minds, or ideas that converge in a single mind or in time.
