Introduction
Perpendicular Lines: Two lines are considered perpendicular to each other when they form an angle of 90°.
The concept of perpendicularity is built upon the Right Angle.
A Right Angle is an angle with an exact measure of 90° (ninety degrees).
- Geometric Representation: A right angle is represented in diagrams by a small square (□) placed at the vertex (the point where the two rays or lines meet).
CISCE: Class 6
Definition: Perpendicular Lines
When two lines intersect, and the angle between them is a right angle, then the lines are said to be perpendicular.
In mathematics, the relationship of perpendicularity is denoted by the symbol ⊥.
If Line A and Line B are perpendicular, the relationship is written as AB ⊥ PQ.
