Identifying Perpendicular Lines: Analysis of a Quarter Circle Figure

Question

Are there two pairs of perpendicular lines in the figure?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:03 Are there two perpendiculars in the drawing?
00:07 A perpendicular creates a right angle where two lines meet.
00:11 Let's mark and count all the right angles to find them.
00:16 And that's how we solve this question!

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that perpendicular lines form a 90-degree angle.

We will mark the intersection points of the lines with the letter T to work out if the angles are right angles, as follows:

From the drawing, it seems there are 2 right angles, which means there are indeed 2 pairs of perpendicular lines.

Answer

Yes
