Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Found the perpendicular lines
00:04 A perpendicular line is a line that forms a right angle at the intersection point with the second line
00:09 Therefore all these lines are perpendicular
00:12 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember that a perpendicular is a line that forms a right angle of 90 degrees with another line.

Let's pay attention to the right angles in the drawing, and note which lines create them:

AB is perpendicular to DC

AB is perpendicular to FE

Answer

ABDCABFE AB⟂DC \\ AB⟂FE
