Solution Steps

00:00 How many perpendiculars are there in the drawing?
00:03 A perpendicular creates a right angle at the intersection point between the lines
00:07 Let's mark and count all the right angles
00:12 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that perpendicular lines are vertical lines that form a right angle of 90 degrees between them.

The right angle we have in the drawing is angle ABC.

The lines that form the angle ABC are AB and BC.

Since we have one marked angle in the triangle, we must have a pair of perpendicular lines.
