How many pairs of perpendicular lines are shown in the diagram below?
How many pairs of perpendicular lines are shown in the diagram below?
Let's remember that perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle of 90 degrees.
Our right angles are:
The lines that form angle ABC are: AB+BC
The lines that form angle BCD are: BC+CD
The lines that form angle CDE are: CD+DE
The lines that form angle DEF are: DE+EF
The lines that form angle EFA are: EF+FA
The lines that form angle FAB are: FA+AB
Since in the drawing we have 6 angles of 90 degrees marked, we must have 6 pairs of perpendicular lines.
