Worksheet: Parallel, Perpendicular, and Intersecting Lines
In this worksheet, we will practice classifying pairs of lines, rays, or line segments as parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting and using the correct notation to denote the relationship between lines.
Q1:
Which of the following correctly defines perpendicular lines?
- ATwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at a reflex angle.
- BTwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they never intersect however far they are extended.
- CTwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at an acute angle.
- DTwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at an obtuse angle.
- ETwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at right angles.
