Question

Which of the following diagrams shows perpendicular lines?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the perpendiculars
00:03 A perpendicular is a line that forms a right angle at the intersection point with the other line
00:07 Therefore all these lines are perpendiculars
00:10 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that a perpendicular line is a line that forms a right angle of 90 degrees with another line.

In answer B, we can identify a right angle, therefore in diagram B there is a perpendicular line.
